copy()
The `copy()` function in p5.js is used to copy a portion of the canvas and paste it in another location, effectively allowing you to create interesting visual effects by manipulating images. Creative coders might use `copy()` to create unique visual compositions, simulate reflections, or even develop interactive art pieces that respond to user inputs. For example, in an interactive painting application, you could copy a section of the canvas to create a mirroring effect, enhancing the artistic expression.
