# Show Image
The show image function.
Show an [Image](/reference/images/image) on the [LED screen](/device/screen), followed by a 400ms pause.
```
export function showImage(_this: micro_bit.Image, xOffset: number)
```
Show an [image](/reference/images/image) (picture) on the
[LED screen](/device/screen). After the micro:bit shows an image, it
will pause for 400 milliseconds (1000 milliseconds is one second).
### Parameters
* x offset - [Number](/reference/types/number); the horizontal starting point of an image; use 0 for the first frame of the image, 5 for the second frame of the image, 10 for the third frame and so on.
* an [image](/reference/images/image) (picture). It is usually a square with five LEDs on a side, but it might be wider.
* a [number](/reference/types/number) that says how many LEDs from the left of the picture the micro:bit should start. `0` means start at the first **frame** of the picture, `5` means start at the second frame, `10` means start at the third, and so on.
### Create image and show image
### Example: Flip-flopping arrow
Use the [image editor](/reference/images/image) to create images using the [create image](/reference/images/create-image) function, and then use `show image` like this:
This program makes a big image with a frame of an arrow pointing up,
and a frame of an arrow pointing down. If you press button `A`, the
program will use ``show image`` to show the arrow pointing up. (It
starts `0` LEDs from the left in the big image.) If you press button
`B`, the program will use ``show image`` to show the arrow pointing
down, which starts `5` LEDs from the left.
```
let img = images.createImage(`
. . # . .
. # . # .
. . # . .
. # . # .
. . # . .
`)
img.showImage(0)
```
### Example: display numbers 1-5
The following example creates an image with 5 frames and then uses a [for loop](/blocks/loops/for) to show each frame on the screen:
```
let img2 = images.createImage(`
. . # . . . # # # # . # # # . . . . # . . # # # .
. # # . . . . . . # . . . # . . . # # . . # . . .
. . # . . . . . # . . . # . . . # # # # . # # # .
. . # . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . # . . . . # .
. . # . . . # # # # . # # # . . . . # . . # # # .
`)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
img2.showImage(i * 5)
basic.pause(1000)
}
```blocks
let arrows = images.createBigImage(`
. . # . . . . # . .
. # # # . . . # . .
# . # . # # . # . #
. . # . . . # # # .
. . # . . . . # . .
`);
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
arrows.showImage(0);
});
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
arrows.showImage(5);
});
```
