My program always spits the error

startup:5:attempt to call nil path

Here is the code:

logo = paintutils.loadImage("logo")
m = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(1,1)
m.drawImage(logo,1,1)

and here is the image:

    eeeeeee   eeeeee    2222222	 e	   e
   e	   e  e	 e  2	   2    ee	  e
   e		  e	 e	  e	 2  e e	 e
   e		  e	 e		   22  e  e    e
    eeeeeee   eeeeee	   e	    e   e   e
		   e  e	  22    e	    e    e  e
		   e  e	  2	 e	    e	 e e
   e	   e  e	    2	   2    e	  ee
    eeeeeee   e		 2222222	 e	   e

As far as I know, there is no drawImage for monitors, perhaps you meant paintutils.drawImage

[gametechish]

I have tried that it failed

You can term.redirect to the monitor, but other then that no there isn't a method, unless someone makes a simple function that can do it, it shouldn't be really that hard.

I'll hop on a server quickly and code it, ill post a pastebin link to such a function ina sec. I'm bored.

pastebin get MLHxfiZ5 drawmon

^draw image on monitor api

example of using it:

os.loadAPI("drawmon") --load the API
local m = peripheral.wrap("left") --or somewhere else
local image = paintutils.loadImage("/potato") --The Image to load
drawmon.drawImage(m, image, 2, 2) --draws my potato image at 2,2, supply the name of the monitor as the first parameter. in this case, m.

so bassicly in your own code it would look like this:

os.loadAPI("drawmon")
logo = paintutils.loadImage("logo")
m = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(1,1)
drawmon.drawImage(m, logo, 1, 1)
