## Simulates Strauss Spatial Point Process

### Description

Simulates Strauss spatial point process.

### Usage

    Strauss(n, c=0, r)

### Arguments

`n` | number of points
`c` | parameter `c` in [0, 1]. `c = 0` corresponds to complete inhibition at distances up to `r`.
`r` | inhibition distance

### Details

Uses spatial birth-and-death process for 4`n` steps, or for 40`n` steps starting from a binomial pattern on the first call from an other function. Uses the region set by `ppinit` or `ppregion`.

### Value

list of vectors of x and y coordinates

### Side Effects
