\title{Point and Click Interface for Displaying a Point Pattern}
\description{
Plot a two-dimensional spatial point pattern
with interactive (point-and-click) control over the plot.
}
\usage{
iplot(x, xname)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{
The spatial point pattern to be plotted.
An object of class \code{"ppp"}.
}
\item{xname}{
Optional. Character string to use as the title of the dataset.
}
}
\value{
\code{NULL}.
}
\details{
This function generates a plot of a spatial point pattern dataset
(object of class \code{"ppp"}) and allows
interactive control over the appearance of the plot
using a point-and-click interface.
A new popup window is launched.
The point pattern \code{x} is displayed in the left half of the window
using \code{\link{plot.ppp}} with the default values of all
the plot parameters. The right side of the window contains
buttons and sliders allowing the user to change the header text,
the plot symbols, the scale used to represent numeric marks,
and so on. For a multitype point pattern, the user
can also switch between viewing all points in a single display,
and splitting the points into separate patterns according to type.
