This dataset is a spatial point pattern of trees
recorded at Waka National Park, Gabon.
See Balinga et al (2006).
The dataset waka is a point pattern
(object of class "ppp") containing the spatial coordinates
of each tree, marked by the tree diameter at breast height
dbh.
The survey region is a 100 by 100 metre square.
Coordinates are given in metres, while the dbh is in centimetres.
