An object of class "ssf" represents a real-valued or
  vector-valued function that has been evaluated or sampled at an
  irregular set of points. An example would be a spatial covariate
  that has only been measured at certain locations.
An object of this class also inherits the class "ppp",
  and is essentially the same as a marked point pattern, except
  for the class membership which enables it to be 
  handled in a different way.
There are methods for plot, print etc; see
  plot.ssf and methods.ssf.
Use unmark to extract only the point
  locations, and marks.ssf to extract only the function values.
