setMonitor

You can set base frames as monitor frames, don't try to use setMonitor on sub frames

Parameters:

1. string|table The monitor name ("right", "left",... "monitor_1", "monitor_2",...) OR a table to create multi-monitors (see example)
2. number optional - a number between 0.5 to 5 which sets the monitor scale

Returns:

1. frame The frame being used

Usage:

• Creates a new monitor frame, you can use to show objects on a monitor.

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local monitorFrame = basalt.createFrame():setMonitor("right")
monitorFrame:addLabel():setText("Hellooo!")

<frame monitor="right"></frame>

• Here is a example on how to create mutlimonitors. You always have to start on the top left of your screen and go to the bottom right, which means in this example monitor_1 is always your most top left monitor while monitor_6 is your most bottom right monitor.

Table structure: local monitors = { [y1] = {x1,x2,x3}, [y2] = {x1,x2,x3} ... }

local monitors = {
    {"monitor_1", "monitor_2", "monitor_3"},
    {"monitor_4", "monitor_5", "monitor_6"}
}

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local monitorFrame = basalt.createFrame():setMonitor(monitors)
monitorFrame:addLabel():setText("Hellooo!")
