Determine Whether a Point Pattern is Connected
Determine whether a point pattern is topologically connected when all pairs of points closer than a threshold distance are joined.
## S3 method for class 'ppp' is.connected(X, R, ...)

The function is.connected
is generic. This is the method for
point patterns (objects of class "ppp"
).
The point pattern X
is first converted into an abstract graph
by joining every pair of points that lie closer than R
units
apart. Then the algorithm determines whether this graph is connected.
That is, the result of is.connected(X)
is TRUE
if any point in X
can be reached from any other point,
by a series of steps between points of X
,
each step being shorter than R
units in length.
A logical value.
