\details{
  The function \code{edge.Trans}
  computes Ohser and Stoyan's translation edge correction
  weight, which is used in estimating the \eqn{K} function and in many
  other contexts.

  The function \code{rmax.Trans} computes the maximum value of
  distance \eqn{r} for which the translation edge correction
  estimate of \eqn{K(r)} is valid.
  
  For a pair of points \eqn{x} and \eqn{y} in a window \eqn{W},
  the translation edge correction weight
  is
  \deqn{
    e(u, r) = \frac{\mbox{area}(W)}{\mbox{area}(W \cap (W + y - x))}
  }{
    e(u, r) = area(W) / area(intersect(W, W + y - x))
  }
  where \eqn{W + y - x} is the result of shifting the window \eqn{W}
  by the vector \eqn{y - x}. The denominator is the area of the overlap between
  this shifted window and the original window.

  The function \code{edge.Trans} computes this edge correction weight.
  If \code{paired=TRUE}, then \code{X} and \code{Y} should contain the
  same number of points. The result is a vector containing the
  edge correction weights \code{e(X[i], Y[i])} for each \code{i}.

  If \code{paired=FALSE}, 
  then the result is a matrix whose \code{i,j} entry gives the
  edge correction weight \code{e(X[i], Y[j])}.

  Computation is exact if the window is a rectangle.
  Otherwise,
  \itemize{
    \item if \code{exact=TRUE}, the edge
    correction weights are computed exactly using 
    \code{\link{overlap.owin}}, which can be quite slow.
    \item if \code{exact=FALSE} (the default),
    the weights are computed rapidly by evaluating the
    set covariance function \code{\link{setcov}}
    using the Fast Fourier Transform.
  }
  If any value of the edge correction weight exceeds \code{trim},
  it is set to \code{trim}.

  The arguments \code{dx} and \code{dy} can be provided as
  an alternative to \code{X} and \code{Y}.
  If \code{paired=TRUE} then \code{dx,dy} should be vectors of equal length
  such that the vector difference of the \eqn{i}th pair is
  \code{c(dx[i], dy[i])}. If \code{paired=FALSE} then 
  \code{dx,dy} should be matrices of the same dimensions,
  such that the vector difference between \code{X[i]} and \code{Y[j]} is
  \code{c(dx[i,j], dy[i,j])}. The argument \code{W} is needed.

  The value of \code{rmax.Trans} is the shortest distance from the
  origin \eqn{(0,0)} to the boundary of the support of
  the set covariance function of \code{W}. It is computed by pixel
  approximation using \code{\link{setcov}}, unless \code{W} is a
  rectangle, when \code{rmax.Trans(W)} is the length of the
  shortest side of the rectangle.
