Extract or Replace Subset of Point Pattern
Extract or replace a subset of a point pattern. Extraction of a subset has the effect of thinning the points and/or trimming the window.

These functions extract a designated subset of a point pattern, or replace the designated subset with another point pattern.
The function [.ppp is a method for [ for the
class "ppp". It extracts a designated subset of a point pattern,
either by “thinning”
(retaining/deleting some points of a point pattern)
or “trimming” (reducing the window of observation
to a smaller subregion and retaining only
those points which lie in the subregion) or both.
The pattern will be “thinned”
if i is a subset index in the usual R sense:
either a numeric vector
of positive indices (identifying the points to be retained),
a numeric vector of negative indices (identifying the points
to be deleted) or a logical vector of length equal to the number of
points in the point pattern x. In the latter case,
the points (x$x[i], x$y[i]) for which
subset[i]=TRUE will be retained, and the others
will be deleted.
The pattern will be “trimmed”
if i is an object of class
"owin" specifying a window of observation.
The points of x lying inside the new
window i will be retained. Alternatively i may be a
pixel image (object of class "im") with logical values;
the pixels with the value TRUE will be interpreted as a window.
The argument drop determines whether to remove
unused levels of a factor, if the point pattern is multitype
(i.e. the marks are a factor) or if the marks are a data frame
in which some of the columns are factors.
The function [<-.ppp is a method for [<- for the
class "ppp". It replaces the designated
subset with the point pattern value.
The subset of x to be replaced is designated by
the argument i as above.
The replacement point pattern value must lie inside the
window of the original pattern x.
The ordering of points in x will be preserved
if the replacement pattern value has the same number of points
as the subset to be replaced. Otherwise the ordering is
unpredictable.
If the original pattern x has marks, then the replacement
pattern value must also have marks, of the same type.
Use the function unmark to remove marks from a
marked point pattern.
Use the function split.ppp to select those points
in a marked point pattern which have a specified mark.
A point pattern (of class "ppp").
The function does not check whether i is a subset of
Window(x). Nor does it check whether value lies
inside Window(x).
