Show Frame

The show frame function.

export function showFrame(img: micro_bit.Image, frame: number)

Difference from plot frame

The show frame function is the same as plot frame, but contains a built-in delay after the LED screen has been updated (whereas plot frame has no built-in delay)

Example

let img = images.createImage(`
# . . . # # . . . #
. # . # . . # # # .
. . # . . . # # # .
. # . # . . # # # .
# . . . # # . . . #
`)
img.showFrame(1)
