Thanks a lot for your response and suggestion Rolf.  Yes, by "quadrant" I mean 
the little sub-windows.  My problem is the following:

We have collected thousands of groundwater samples across a vast area, and analysed them. 
Based on the analysis we are able to assign a "type" to each water sample.  
When plotted, there seems to be a spatial trend in water type. But a given area may have 
more than one water type,  usually with a dominant type (most frequently occurring). What 
I am trying to do is identify the dominant type for each sub-region /sub-windows but show 
the count side by side, for example:

           x
  y         [0,0.801)            [0.801,1.6]
   [0.5,1]   Off =     36                Off =  6
            On =   3     On = 39

    [0,0.5)   Off =  4              Off = 36
             On = 42        On = 6


I don't understand the counts in the foregoing. Have some digits been left off in places? I.e. should this be:

I think I can achieve what I am looking for with your suggestion. Once I get 
the table list, I will copy the numbers side by side manually.

Yeucch!  Manually?  Saints preserve us!

Do you really mean "quadrant" or do you simply mean *quadrat*???

Sticking with quad*rant* (it doesn't really matter), how about something like:

rants <- tiles(quadrats(Window(amacrine),nx=2))
lapply(rants,function(w,pat){table(marks(pat[w]))},pat=amacrine)

which gives:

$`Tile row 1, col 1`

off on 36 35
$`Tile row 1, col 2`

off on 36 39
$`Tile row 2, col 1`

off on 34 42
$`Tile row 2, col 2`

off on 36 36

cheers,

Rolf

P. S. But you are probably well-advised to forget all this quadrat counting stuff and use relrisk() as suggested by Ege Rubak.
