Document p5.strands instanceID() function

[davepagurek]

Increasing access

This currently has no docs but is useful for drawing many copies of something, and will also be an important step in using compute shaders.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Image
• IO
• Math
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Build process
• Unit testing
• Internationalization
• Friendly errors
• Other (specify if possible)

See for example this sketch: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2845379

This should also probably include a new example in the model docs, as you need to add a count to model(geom, n) to make everything work. Since this is an advanced usage of model, we should probably switch to inline examples in its documentation so that we can add instancing explanations after the more basic usage and before instancing examples.

Hi! @davepagurek I’d like to work on documenting the instanceID() function and adding an example for model(geom, n) as described in this issue. Could this be assigned to me? Thanks!
