Drawing graphics on screen

[ShadyChirp 0]

So, I have just recently gotten into OpenComputers, after using CC for a long time. But something that I have noticed, that has been bugging me alot, is that I can't draw squares of different shapes and colors. Also I have been struggling to change the background color when running my program. Are there any integrated commands for this, or do I have to write a long snippet of code?

To make my point clear, I will give an example, as written in computercraft:

term.setBackgroundColor(colors.gray) 
also, 
term.setTextColor(colors.orange)
and: 
paintutils.drawFilledBox(1,1,10,10,colors.white)

I hope this made any sense.. :|

local colors = require "colors"
local component = require "component"
local gpu = component.gpu

gpu.setForeground(colors.gray)
gpu.setBackground(colors.orange)

gpu.fill(1, 1, 10, 10, colors.white)

Same flavors, different brand.

Hmm... I seem to be having some trouble here.. I can't get it to fill the screen.... It only throws back an error message..

Sorry about that. My example used gpu.fill wrong.. It should be.. 

gpu.fill(1, 1, 10, 10, " ")

That last arg should be the char to use not the color to fill with. Color is obviously set with gpu.setBackground.

Ok, I'll check it out

After fiddling around for some time i finally got it to work  
 

You see, it wouldn't set the color, so that the box always was colored black.. I fixed it by referring to my wished color with a number:

local colors = require "colors"
	local component = require "component"
		local gpu = component.gpu
			
			gpu.setForeground(1, true)
		gpu.setBackground(1, true)
	gpu.fill(1, 1, 10, 10, "x")
os.sleep(1)

So, as you see, the part where i specify the colors is different. But anyway, you have helped me alot! Wouldn't have figured this out without you

(I also set 'IsPaletteIndex' to true)
