Reference createImg()

createImg()

Creates an <img> element that can appear outside of the canvas.

The first parameter, src, is a string with the path to the image file. src should be a relative path, as in '/assets/image.png', or a URL, as in 'https://example.com/image.png'.

The second parameter, alt, is a string with the alternate text for the image. An empty string '' can be used for images that aren't displayed.

The third parameter, crossOrigin, is optional. It's a string that sets the crossOrigin property of the image. Use 'anonymous' or 'use-credentials' to fetch the image with cross-origin access.

The fourth parameter, callback, is also optional. It sets a function to call after the image loads. The new image is passed to the callback function as a p5.Element object.
