== Function ==
=== Synopsis ===
<source lang="lua">
distribution, dx, dy, angle, directionRelativeToCenter = ParticleSystem:getEmissionArea( )

=== Arguments ===
None.
=== Returns ===
{{param|AreaSpreadDistribution|distribution|The type of distribution for new particles.}}
{{param|number|dx|The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the x-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the x-axis for normal distribution.}}
{{param|number|dy|The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the y-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the y-axis for normal distribution.}}
{{param|number|angle|The angle in radians of the emission area.}}
{{param|boolean|directionRelativeToCenter|True if newly spawned particles will be oriented relative to the center of the emission area, false otherwise.}}
