A base class for particle emitters.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

Particle emitter nodes can be used in "start" step of particle shaders and they define the starting position of the particles. Connect them to the Position output port.

If ``true``, the result of this emitter is projected to 2D space. By default it is ``false`` and meant for use in 3D space.
