# Plot Brightness
|
|
|
|
Turn on a LED light with a specific brightness on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
led.plotBrightness(0,0, 128);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* ``x`` is a [number](/types/number) that means the
|
|
horizontal spot on the LED screen (from left to right: 0, 1, 2, 3,
|
|
or 4)
|
|
* ``y`` is a [number](/types/number) that means the vertical
|
|
spot on the LED screen (from top to bottom: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)
|
|
* ``brightness` is a [number](/types/number) that represents the brightness of the LED, from 0 (off) to 255 (full brightness)
|
|
|
|
If a parameter is [out of bounds](/reference/out-of-bounds) (a value
|
|
other than 0 to 4), then this function will do nothing.
|
|
|
|
### ~hint
|
|
|
|
The LED screen is a solid square of LEDs with five LEDs on each side.
|
|
To learn more about how you number the LEDs with ``x`` and ``y``
|
|
coordinates, see [LED screen](/device/screen).
|
|
|
|
### ~
|
|
|
|
### Example: One LED
|
|
|
|
This program turns on the bottom right LED at 50% brightness
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
led.plotBrightness(2, 2, 128)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example: Square
|
|
|
|
This program uses a [for loop](/blocks/loops/for)
|
|
and the `plotBrightness` function
|
|
to make a square around the edges of the LED screen.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
|
|
led.plotBrightness(0, i, 64)
|
|
led.plotBrightness(4, i, 128)
|
|
led.plotBrightness(i, 0, 172)
|
|
led.plotBrightness(i, 4, 255)
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ~hint
|
|
|
|
Use the [point](/reference/led/point) function to find out if an LED is
|
|
on or off.
