R help - Apr 2007 - program avail. for simulating spatial patterns?

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a function available in R for simulating
spatial distribution of objects (plants in this case) in order to
simulate sampling of a population .  Specifically, I would like to be
able to change the spatial correlation of individuals.  I don't want
to reinvent the wheel if it already exists.

Thanks,

Wade

Have a look at packages in the spatial taskview (spatstat, splancs).

Cheers,

Thierry
