\title{Test Whether Marks Are Present}
\description{
Generic function to test whether a given object (usually a point
pattern or something related to a point pattern) has ``marks''
attached to the points.
}
\usage{
is.marked(X, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{X}{
Object to be inspected
}
\item{\dots}{
Other arguments.
}
}
\value{
Logical value, equal to \code{TRUE} if \code{X} is marked.
}
\details{
``Marks'' are observations attached to each point of a point pattern.
For example the \code{\link{longleaf}} dataset contains the locations
of trees, each tree being marked by its diameter;
the \code{\link{amacrine}} dataset gives the locations of cells
of two types (on/off) and the type of cell may be regarded as a mark attached
to the location of the cell.
Other objects related to point patterns, such as point process models,
may involve marked points.
This function tests whether the object \code{X}
contains or involves marked points.
It is generic; methods are provided
for point patterns (objects of class \code{"ppp"})
and point process models (objects of class \code{"ppm"}).
