Hello I fiddle with P5 and tried this

[https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5.Element/position](https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5.Element/position)`Preformatted text`

```auto
  let cnv = createCanvas(100, 100);
  // positions canvas 50px to the right and 100px
  // below upper left corner of the window
  cnv.position(50, 100);

```

But this does not work position is not a part createCanvas  
How I’m wrong ?  
THX
