\title{Extract or Replace Sub-Patterns}
\description{
  Extract or replace some of the sub-patterns in a split point pattern.
}
\usage{
  \method{[}{splitppp}(x, ...)
  \method{[}{splitppp}(x, ...) <- value
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{
    An object of class \code{"splitppp"}, representing a point pattern
    separated into a list of sub-patterns.
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    Subset index. Any valid subset index in the usual \R sense.
  }
  \item{value}{
    Replacement value for the subset. A list of point patterns.
  }
}
\value{
  Another object of class \code{"splitppp"}.
}
\details{
  These are subset methods for the class \code{"splitppp"}.

  The argument \code{x} should be an object of class \code{"splitppp"},
  representing a point pattern that has been separated into a
  list of sub-patterns. It is created by \code{\link{split.ppp}}.
  
  The methods extract or replace a designated
  subset of the list \code{x}, and return an object of class \code{"splitppp"}.
