\title{Union of Data and Dummy Points}
\description{
  Combines the data and dummy points of a quadrature scheme
  into a single point pattern.
}
\usage{
 union.quad(Q)
}
\arguments{
  \item{Q}{A quadrature scheme (an object of class \code{"quad"}).}
}
\value{
  A point pattern (of class \code{"ppp"}).
}
\details{
  The argument \code{Q} should be a quadrature scheme (an object of class
  \code{"quad"}, see \code{\link{quad.object}} for details).
  
  This function combines the data and dummy points of \code{Q}
  into a single point pattern. If either the data or the dummy points
  are marked, the result is a marked point pattern.

  The function \code{\link{as.ppp}} will perform the same task.

\examples{
  data(simdat)
  Q <- quadscheme(simdat, default.dummy(simdat))
  U <- union.quad(Q)
  \dontrun{plot(U)}
  # equivalent:
  U <- as.ppp(Q)
