# 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)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### Create image and show image
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
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](/reference/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)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
