Summary of a Point Pattern Dataset

Description

Prints a useful summary of a point pattern dataset.

Usage

 ## S3 method for class 'ppp':
 summary(object, ..., checkdup=TRUE)

Arguments

Details

A useful summary of the point pattern object is printed.

This is a method for the generic function summary.

If checkdup=TRUE, the pattern will be checked for the presence of dublicate points, using duplicated.ppp. This can be time-consuming if the pattern contains many points, so the checking can be disabled by setting checkdup=FALSE.
