Format

The object stomata is a hyperframe with 216 rows. It has a column named patterns containing the point patterns of stomata locations, a column named Leaf which is a factor with levels 1 to 12 identifying the leaf from which the pattern was obtained, a column named Layer which is a factor with levels 1 to 6 identifying a location within each “position” (see “Pos”), and a column named Pos which is a factor with levels 1 to 3, position 1 being closest to the central stem of the leaf and position 3 being closest to the outer edge of the leaf (and farthest from the central stem).
