\title{Delaunay Triangulation of Point Pattern}
\description{
  Computes the Delaunay triangulation of a spatial point pattern.
}
\usage{
delaunay(X)
}
\arguments{
  \item{X}{Spatial point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}).}
}
\details{
  The Delaunay triangulation of a spatial point pattern \code{X}
  is defined as follows. First the Dirichlet/Voronoi tessellation of \code{X}
  computed; see \code{\link{dirichlet}}. Then two points of \code{X}
  are defined to be Delaunay neighbours if their Dirichlet/Voronoi tiles
  share a common boundary. Every pair of Delaunay neighbours is
  joined by a straight line. The result is a tessellation, consisting of
  disjoint triangles. The union of these triangles is the convex hull of
  \code{X}.
}
\value{
  A tessellation (object of class \code{"tess"}). The window of the
  tessellation is the convex hull of \code{X}, not the original window
  of \code{X}.
