Usage:

     rock

Format:

     A data frame with 48 rows and 4 numeric columns.

       [,1]  area   area of pores space, in pixels out of 256 by 256
       [,2]  peri   perimeter in pixels
       [,3]  shape  perimeter/sqrt(area)
       [,4]  perm   permeability in milli-Darcies

Details:

     Twelve core samples from petroleum reservoirs were sampled by 4
     cross-sections.  Each core sample was measured for permeability,
     and each cross-section has total area of pores, total perimeter of
     pores, and shape.
