Dear Everyone,

Thanks for the forum! In reading P5.js, I’ve come across the calls simple() and repeat(). For example

repeat(100,700,2,100,500,2,landshape);

But I haven’t been able to find explanations for these function calls in the P5.js reference. Can anyone who uses these calls explain them for me? Thanks!
