# Show Image
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
let item: Image = null;
|
|
item.showImage(0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
### Example: Flip-flopping arrow
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let arrows = images.createBigImage(`

|
|
`);
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
arrows.showImage(0);
|
|
});
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
arrows.showImage(5);
|
|
});
|
|
```
