-Helper functions are provided to facilitate analyzing FIA tree lists as Spatial Point Patterns using the **spatstat** library. `create_fia_ppp()` returns an object of class `"ppp"` representing the point pattern of an FIA tree list in the 2-D plane. This object can be used with functions of package **spatstat.explore** for additional plotting capabilty, computation of descriptive spatial statistics, and other exploratory data analysis.
