\item{win}{
A window.
An object of class \code{\link{owin}},
or data in any format acceptable to \code{\link{as.owin}()}.
}
\item{dx}{Spacing of grid points in \eqn{x} direction.
Incompatible with \code{nx}.

\value{
A point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}).

\details{
This function generates a \dQuote{systematic random} pattern of points
in the window \code{win}. The pattern consists of a rectangular grid
of points with a random common displacement.
The grid spacing is determined by the distances \code{dx, dy}
if they are present. If they are absent, then the grid spacing is
determined so that there will be \code{nx} columns and \code{ny} rows
of grid points in the bounding rectangle of \code{win}.
The grid is then given a random displacement (the common displacement
of the grid points is a uniformly distributed random vector in the
tile of dimensions \code{dx, dy}).
Some of the resulting grid points may lie outside the window \code{win}:
if they do, they are deleted.
The result is a point pattern inside the window \code{win}.
This function is useful in creating dummy points for quadrature
schemes (see \code{\link{quadscheme}}) as well as in simulating
random point patterns.
