Franklin et al. (1985) determined the locations of approximately 5000
trees from United States Forest Service aerial photographs and
digitised them for analysis. Getis and Franklin (1987) selected a 120
metre square subregion that appeared to exhibit clustering. This subregion
is the ponderosa
dataset.
In principle these data are equivalent to Figure 2 of Getis and Franklin (1987) but they are not exactly identical; some of the spatial locations appear to be slightly perturbed.
The data points identified as A, B, C on Figure 2 of Getis and Franklin (1987) correspond to points numbered 42, 7 and 77 in the dataset respectively.

data(ponderosa)
gives access to two objects,
ponderosa
and ponderosa.extra
. The dataset ponderosa
is a spatial point pattern
(object of class "ppp"
)
representing the point pattern of tree positions.
See ppp.object
for details of the format. The dataset ponderosa.extra
is a list containing supplementary
data. The entry id
contains the index numbers of the
three special points A, B, C in the point pattern. The entry
plotit
is a function that can be called to produce a nice plot
of the point pattern. data(ponderosa)
ponderosa.extra$plotit()
