\title{
  Find Nearest Point in a Region
}
\description{
  For each data point in a point pattern \code{X},
  find the nearest location in a given spatial region \code{W}.
}
\usage{
  project2set(X, W, \dots)
}
\arguments{
  \item{X}{
    Point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}).
  }
  \item{W}{
    Window (object of class \code{"owin"})
    or something acceptable to \code{\link{as.owin}}.
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    Arguments passed to \code{\link{as.mask}} controlling the
    pixel resolution.
  }
}
\details{
  The window \code{W} is first discretised as a binary mask
  using \code{\link{as.mask}}.
  
  For each data point \code{X[i]} in the point pattern \code{X},
  the algorithm finds the nearest pixel in \code{W}.

  The result is a point pattern \code{Y} containing these nearest points,
  that is, \code{Y[i]} is the nearest point in \code{W} to the
  point \code{X[i]}.
}
\value{
  A point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}) with the same
  number of points as \code{X} in the window \code{W}.
