SeaWarrior:

The Advanced Monitor is a new, improved version of the [[monitor]]. It has the ability to show coloured text and programs on the screen. It is also golden colored on it's sides, similar to the [[Advanced Computer]]. For available colors, see [http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Colors#Colors Colors API].

==Using an Advanced Monitor==
''See [[Peripheral (API)#Monitor|Peripheral (API)]] for more details.''

To use an Advanced Monitor, you need to call a method using the Peripheral API. This is one example:

peripheral.call("side", "function", var1, var2, ...)

For example:

peripheral.call("top", "write", "Hello World!")

You can also "wrap" the peripheral side to a variable:

local monitor = peripheral.wrap("top")

Now, you can call functions that way.

monitor.write("Hello World!")

There are two new functions (four including the british-spelled color (colour)):

[[term.setTextColor|monitor.setTextColor]]([[colors (API)#colors|color]])

[[term.setBackgroundColor|monitor.setBackgroundColor]]([[colors (API)#colors|color]])
