Numeric Constants
-----------------

- **DRAW_ORDER_INDEX** = **0** --- Particles are drawn in the order emitted.
- **DRAW_ORDER_LIFETIME** = **1** --- Particles are drawn in order of remaining lifetime.

Description
-----------

2D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects. ``Particles2D`` features an emitter that generates some number of particles at a given rate.

Use the ``process_material`` property to add a :ref:`ParticlesMaterial<class_particlesmaterial>` to configure particle appearance and behavior. Alternatively, you can add a :ref:`ShaderMaterial<class_shadermaterial>` which will be applied to all particles.
