### Difference from `show image`
The `show image` function has a built in delay of 400ms after display of the image, whereas `plot image` has no built-in delay.
### Example
```
let img = images.createImage(`
# . . . # # . . . #
. # . # . . # # # .
. . # . . . # # # .
. # . # . . # # # .
# . . . # # . . . #
`)
img.plotImage(0)
```
