\title{Dirichlet Tessellation of Point Pattern}
\description{
  Computes the Dirichlet/Voronoi tessellation of a spatial point pattern.
}
\usage{
dirichlet(X)
}
\arguments{
  \item{X}{Spatial point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}).}
}
\details{
  In a spatial point pattern \code{X}, the Dirichlet/Voronoi tile associated
  with a particular point \code{X[i]} is the region of space that is
  closer to \code{X[i]} than to any other point in \code{X}. The
  Dirichlet tiles divide the two-dimensional plane into disjoint
  regions, forming a tessellation.

  This function computes the Dirichlet tessellation (within the original
  window of \code{X}).
}
\value{
  A tessellation (object of class \code{"tess"}).
}

  plot(X, add=TRUE)
