Maybe this has been suggested, if someone manages to find an exact post of this then they have godlike search skills. 10 mins of searching for the obvious... nothing.

mon.drawImage(image,x,y) -- Where mon is a handle to a monitor and image is a handle to an image, draw an image on mon

Following have been thrown around, but not in the paintutils API

paintutils.drawPixel(color,x,y) - color is a string to a given color ("blue","orange",etc.)
mon.drawpixel(color,x,y) - Nuff said, mon is a handle to a monitor

I AM NOW GODLIKE (right?)

I am pretty sure that what you suggested is in paintutils... I have saw a draw pixel function and used it. There is also a drawImage one. These may not be on the wiki but they are definitely in the API script.

I'm pretty sure neither of the posters here actually READ his question. Painting on a monitor using paintutils is easy, but it won't let you paint to anything but the primary monitor set by term.redirect. Is there a way to paint to a monitor directly without the use of term. If I want to draw on ten different monitors at once, using different threads (via parallel). It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to redirect every single time and risk one overwriting the other.

It's not too hard to create a dummy term-like table whose functions affect all monitors instead of just one. Then you just term.redirect to that table.

Or you just redirect and restore each time you want to draw something. Why you'd need ten coroutines to do this is beyond me.
