getStudyArea().md

+The study area is used to define the area on which you want to run your simulations. For a given `extent`, a grid is created with equal sized cells. Each cell will have a length/height of the provided `res` attribute. You should make sure that you are using a metric coordinate system.
+
+### Input
+| parameter | description | type |
+| ------ | ------ | ------ |
+| name | the name of the `StudyArea`. Used as an identifier for the simulation and written files | `string` |
+| extent | the extent of the area. Vector with the values `xMin`, `xMax`, `yMin` and `yMax`| `numeric vector` |
+| res | the size of each cell in the resulting grid | `numeric` |
+| projection | CRS object or a string describing a projection in the PROJ.4 format | `string/CRS` |
+### Output
+Returns a `StudyArea` object that contains the coordinates of the grid and other informations.
+### Notes
+* It is important to use a **metric** coordinate system.
