  Trees in Waka national park
}
\description{
  This dataset is a spatial point pattern of trees 
  recorded at Waka National Park, Gabon.
  See Balinga et al (2006).

  The dataset \code{waka} is a point pattern
  (object of class \code{"ppp"}) containing the spatial coordinates
  of each tree, marked by the tree diameter at breast height
  \code{dbh}.
  The survey region is a 100 by 100 metre square.
  Coordinates are given in metres, while the \code{dbh} is in centimetres.
