[R-sig-Geo] Create/convert a point pattern from raw txt file in spatstat?

[opheliawang at mail.utexas.edu]

Hi all,

I'm new to R, so I'm still learning how to do this: I have a txt file  
that contains X Y coordinate of trees (range from 0-100 for both X and  
Y) and a "mark" column that's the tree ID. The total is about 600  
lines. Part of the data looks like:

X	Y	Mark
1	94	1
2.5	94.5	4
3	93	5
4	92	6
4	95	7
6	98	8
4	84	9
6	86	10
6	86	11
6	86	12
6	86	13
8	88	14
9.5	89.5	15
10	90	16

In order to create a point pattern, should I used scanpp, ppp, or  
as.ppp?Here's the error I get for each command:

> test <- read.table("C:/dissertation/data2006/Parcela_1-3/Juyuin_tree.txt")
> w <- owin(c(0,100),c(0,100))
> as.ppp(test, w, fatal=TRUE)
Error: is.numeric(x) is not TRUE

> ppp(x,y, xrange=c(0,100), yrange=c(0,100),marks, check=TRUE)
Error in ppp(x, y, xrange = c(0, 100), yrange = c(0, 100), marks,  
check = TRUE) : object "x" not found

> scanpp("C:/dissertation/data2006/Parcela_1-3/Juyuin_tree.txt",  
> c(0,100,0, 100), header=TRUE, dir="", multitype=FALSE)
Error in verifyclass(window, "owin") : argument ?window? is not of  
class ?owin?

> scanpp("C:/dissertation/data2006/Parcela_1-3/Juyuin_tree.txt", w,  
> header=TRUE, dir="", multitype=FALSE)
Error: is.numeric(x) is not TRUE

My problems are not knowing which command to use and how the "window"  
should be specified. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks so much!
