Instance Container
Optionally, you can specify a default container for the canvas and any other elements to append to with a second argument. You can give the ID of an element in your html, or an html node itself. * Here are three different options for selecting a container DOM element. All DOM elements (canvas, buttons, divs, etc) created by p5 will be attached to the DOM element specified as the second argument to the p5() call.
