|
|
|
|
The plot image function.
|
|
|
|
Display an [Image](/reference/images/image) on the BBC micro:bit's [LED screen](/device/screen)
|
|
|
|
### JavaScript
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export function plotImage(_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.

### Difference from `show image`
|
|
|
|
The `show image` function has a built in delay of 400ms after display of the image, whereas `plot image` has no built-in delay.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let img = images.createImage(`
|
|
# . . . # # . . . #
|
|
. # . # . . # # # .
|
|
. . # . . . # # # .
|
|
. # . # . . # # # .
|
|
# . . . # # . . . #
|
|
`)
|
|
img.plotImage(0)
|
|
```
