Off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations have been employed to investigate the orientational structure in a quasi-2-dimensional system of dipolar hard spheres covering both the fluid and crystal regions. The study includes pattern formation resulting from the competition of the long range dipolar interaction with localized interactions typical of those encountered in thin magnetic films.
