Computes the area of that part of a disc that is not covered by other discs.
areaGain(u, X, r, ..., W=as.owin(X), exact=FALSE,
                     ngrid=spatstat.options("ngrid.disc"))Coordinates of the centre of the disc of interest.
    A vector of length 2.
    Alternatively, a point pattern (object of class "ppp").
Locations of the centres of other discs.
    A point pattern (object of class "ppp").
Disc radius, or vector of disc radii.
Arguments passed to distmap to determine the pixel
    resolution, when exact=FALSE.
Window (object of class "owin")
    in which the area should be computed.
Choice of algorithm.
    If exact=TRUE, areas are computed exactly using
    analytic geometry. If exact=FALSE then a faster algorithm
    is used to compute a discrete approximation to the areas.
Integer. Number of points in the square grid used to compute
    the discrete approximation, when exact=FALSE.
A matrix with one row for each point in u
  and one column for each value in r.
This function computes the area of that part of
  the disc of radius r centred at the location u
  that is not covered by any of the discs of radius r
  centred at the points of the pattern X.
  This area is important in some calculations related to
  the area-interaction model AreaInter.
If u is a point pattern and r is a vector,
  the result is a matrix, with one row for each point in u
  and one column for each entry of r. The [i,j] entry
  in the matrix is the area of that part of the disc of radius
  r[j] centred at the location u[i] that is
  not covered by any of the discs of radius r[j]
  centred at the points of the pattern X.
If W is not NULL, then the areas are computed only
  inside the window W.
