|returns={{type|table}} terminal object
|api=window
|addon=ComputerCraft
|desc=Returns a terminal object that is a space within the specified parent terminal object. This can then be used (or even [[term.redirect|redirected to]]) in the same manner as eg a [[peripheral.wrap|wrapped]] [[monitor]]. Refer to the [[Term (API)|term API]] for a list of functions available to it.<br><br>

[[Term (API)|term]] itself may not be passed as the parent, though [[term.native|term.native()]] is acceptable. Generally, [[term.current|term.current()]] or a wrapped monitor will be most suitable, though windows may even have other windows assigned as their parents.

{{Example
|desc=Defines a 20x10 window within the current terminal display at x15/y5, then fills it with white.
|code= local myWindow = window.create(term.current(),15,5,20,10)

myWindow.setBackgroundColor(colours.white)
myWindow.clear()
