\title{Set Covariance of a Window}
\description{
Computes the set covariance function of a window.
}
\usage{
setcov(W, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{W}{
A window (object of class \code{"owin"}.
}
\item{\dots}{
Optional arguments passed to \code{\link{as.mask}}
to control the pixel resolution.
}
}
\value{
A pixel image (an object of class \code{"im"}) representing the
set covariance function of \code{W}.
}
\details{
The set covariance function of a region \eqn{W} in the plane
is the function \eqn{C(v)} defined for each vector \eqn{v}
as the area of the intersection between \eqn{W} and \eqn{W+v},
where \eqn{W+v} is the set obtained by shifting (translating)
\eqn{W} by \eqn{v}.
We may interpret \eqn{C(v)} as the area of the set of
all points \eqn{x} in \eqn{W} such that \eqn{x+v} also lies in
\eqn{W}.
This command computes a discretised approximation to
the set covariance function of any
plane region \eqn{W} represented as a window object (of class
\code{"owin"}, see \code{\link{owin.object}}). The return value is
a pixel image (object of class \code{"im"}) whose greyscale values
are values of the set covariance function.
The set covariance is computed using the Fast Fourier Transform,
unless \code{W} is a rectangle, when an exact formula is used.
