‎Monitor as a Peripheral

added disambig to Term (API), and shrunk the image so it does not overlap the code snippets (plus it does not need to be that big anyways)

Added peripheral api notice and put in the peripheral api category.

Changed CCSensors reference to OpenCCSensors, seeing as OCCS is up to date.

Mentioned the maximum size of a monitor.

 The '''Monitor''' is a block that can display text on its front side. When several screen blocks are placed on the same plane, it will form a single monitor. By default, a monitor has a [[resolution]] of 7 pixels horizontally by 5 pixels horizontally, but this can be increased by using the monitor API and combining monitors (see explanation on the [[resolution]] page). The maximum size of a single monitor is 8 blocks wide and 6 blocks tall, and must be placed to be shaped as a rectangle, else it will separate into multiple parts. It is useful for displaying information at a server spawn, showing a program on the monitor, and even showing the status of an IC2 reactor! (provided you have [[OpenCCSensors]] installed)

 To use a Monitor, you need to either call a method directly using [[peripheral.call]](), or, wrap the monitor using the [[Peripheral_(API)|Peripheral API]]. Wrapped monitors provide all functions listed in the [[Term_(API)|Term API]], with the exception of [[Monitor.setTextScale|monitor.setTextScale(size)]], which is native to monitors only.
