term.clearPixel(x,y) Only clear 1 pixel at a time.

Hi….


I dont find this suggestion anywhere, so i would quickly suggest this…
It would be better, if i could type in

>term.clearPixel(1,6) 

then the pixel / cell at position 1,6 would be removed, for letters/symbols, etc.

would this be added in any newer updates?

Thanks :D/>

You can add this functionallity yourself:

term.setCursorPos(1,6)
term.write(" ")

Edit: If you wish to have it as a single command, prepend this to your program:

function clearPixel(x,y)
  local oldX,oldY = term.getCursorPos()
  term.setCursorPos(x,y)
  term.write(" ")
  term.setCursorPos(oldX,oldY)
end

Yeah. I did know that. But i think it would be a bit easier to just type in
term.clearPixel(1,6)
–other stuff

but anyway.
thanks

The point is you code something yourself. We aren't going to help you with every single thing.

Put his code in your startup, slightly modified. There, magic new useless term command.

local function clearPixel(x,y)
  local oldX,oldY = term.getCursorPos()
  term.setCursorPos(x,y)
  term.write(" ")
  term.setCursorPos(oldX,oldY)
end

rawset(term, "clearPixel", clearPixel)
