Give me a shout if either of those don't work and I'll see if I can fix them up for you.

For the marquee, try

x,y = term.getSize()
function marqueeRight(text,ypos)
  val = 1
  while true do
    term.clear()
    term.setCursorPos(val,ypos)
    write(text)
    if val == x then
	  val = 1
    else
	  val = val + 1
    end
    sleep(0.5)
  end
end

It failed when I tested it, but maybe you can build something off of it.

It didn't work properly, the text was going up. It was moving to the side I believe though. Try it yourself.

function marqueeLeft(side, text, ypos, sleep)
    if peripheral.isPresent(side) then
		    term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(side))
		    local sx, sy = term.getSize()
		    text = string.rep(" ", sx - 1)..text
		    for i=1,string.len(text) do
				    term.clearLine()
				    displayString = string.sub(text, i, math.min(string.len(text), (i + sx - 2)))
				    term.setCursorPos(1, ypos)
				    write(displayString)
				    os.sleep(sleep)
		    end
		    term.clearLine()
		    term.restore()
    end
end
function marqueeRight(side, text, ypos, sleep)
    if peripheral.isPresent(side) then
		    term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(side))
		    local sx, sy = term.getSize()
		    text = string.rep(" ", sx - 1)..text..string.rep(" ", sx - 1)
		    for i = 1,string.len(text) - (sx - 1) do
				    term.clearLine()
				    displayString = string.sub(text, -math.min(string.len(text), i + sx - 2), -i)
				    term.setCursorPos(1, ypos)
				    write(displayString)
				    os.sleep(sleep)
		    end
		    term.clearLine()
		    term.restore()
    end
end

Fixed versions. Tested them and they seem to work fine here on a variety of monitor sizes. Give these guys a whirl.

Thanks, it worked! I'll add it for the next version. />

Updated to v1.2, fixed marquee functions and added monitorapi.run(side, func).

[FuzzyPurp]

Changed title for you, next time just edit your topic, then choose Full Editor.

[Jamboozlez]

Could you please create a function for:

m.setTextScale(size) -- size can be any number from 1 to 5
--example:
monitorapi.setTextScale(side, size) -- make it return an error when you use a size not within 1-5

Thanks

[Lyqyd]

That function is a pretty trivial addition.

function setTextScale(side, size)
  return peripheral.call(side, "setTextScale", size)
end

Might as well just use the peripheral call. Either way, this is pretty old. Locked.
