Welcome to Microsoft Community

To create a loop in PA (Processing Language), you can use a "while" or "for" loop to repeat a specific portion of your code. In your case, you want to loop the flow in the red circle every time it shows an image. To help you with a more specific answer, I need to know a bit more about your code and how you are handling the image display and flow within the red circle. However, I can provide you with a general outline of how you can create a loop for the flow:

	void setup() { // Initialize your canvas and other setup code here}void draw() { // Draw your background and other elements here // Check if it's time to show an image in the red circle if (timeToDisplayImage()) { // Show the image in the red circle displayImage(); // Implement the flow within the red circle // ... } // Continue with the rest of your drawing code // ...}// Function to check if it's time to display an imageboolean timeToDisplayImage() { // Implement the logic to determine when to display an image // For example, you could use the frameCount to display an image every N frames. // Replace N with your desired number of frames. int N = 60; // Display an image every 60 frames return frameCount % N == 0;}// Function to display an image in the red circlevoid displayImage() { // Implement the code to show an image within the red circle // ...}	<br>	---

Please note that the code above is a general outline, and you will need to adapt it to your specific implementation. The timeToDisplayImage() function should return true when it's time to display an image, and the displayImage() function should handle how the image is shown within the red circle.

If you provide more details about your code, I can assist you further in incorporating the loop into your specific scenario.
