Prints a useful summary of a point pattern dataset.
# S3 method for ppp
summary(object, …, checkdup=TRUE)Point pattern (object of class "ppp").
Ignored.
Logical value indicating whether to check for the presence of duplicate points.
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 duplicate 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.
If the point pattern was generated by simulation
using rmh, the parameters of the algorithm
are printed.
