Purpose
Switch drawing targets such that transformations are still active but commands are sent to the canvas or drawing surface visible to the user, "leaving" the offscreen buffer.
Snippet
Create a buffer with transparent background called "example-buffer" which is 100 pixels wide and 50 pixels tall. Then, draw an ellipse in that buffer.
sketch.create_buffer('example-buffer', 100, 50)
sketch.enter_buffer('example-buffer')
sketch.draw_ellipse(50, 25, 10, 10)
sketch.exit_buffer()
