patchwise is intended to be used as a supplementary package to oceandatr (and spatialgridr) for instances in which users wish to protect entire "chunks" of areas using prioritizr.
One example is when a user wishes to include seamounts as a feature to protect in prioritizr with a target of 20% protection. Instead of protecting a little bit of each seamount until the 20% is reached, patchwise makes it easy to ensure that entire seamounts are protected sequentially to meet the protection target.
You can install the development version of patchwise from GitHub with:
if (!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("emlab-ucsb/patchwise")
You can install oceandatr and spatialgridr from GitHub with:
if (!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("emlab-ucsb/oceandatr")
devtools::install_github("emlab-ucsb/spatialgridr")
Since this package is intended to be used in combination with oceandatr, there are several housekeeping steps that need to be completed first.

# Create targets for protection - let's just do 20% for each feature (including 20% of whole seamounts)
targets_rast <- patchwise::features_targets(targets = rep(0.2, (terra::nlyr(features_rast) + 1)), features = features_rast, pre_patches = seamounts_rast)
# Add these targets to targets for protection for the "constraints" we introduced to protect entire seamount units
constraints_rast <- patchwise::constraints_targets(feature_targets = targets_rast, patch_df = patches_df_rast)
# Run the prioritization

Areas in green were identified by prioritizr as areas worth protecting. We can see that entire seamounts were used to meet the target objective of protecting 20% of seamounts. We can compare this result to a prioritizr run that does not protect whole seamounts:
# Grab all relevant data
features_rast_nopatch <- oceandatr::get_features(spatial_grid = planning_rast)
# Run the prioritization
problem_rast_nopatch <- prioritizr::problem(x = cost_rast, features = features_rast_nopatch) %>%
prioritizr::add_min_set_objective() %>%
prioritizr::add_relative_targets(rep(0.2, terra::nlyr(features_rast_nopatch))) %>%
prioritizr::add_binary_decisions() %>%
prioritizr::add_boundary_penalties(penalty = 0.000002) %>%
prioritizr::add_default_solver(gap = 0.1, threads = parallel::detectCores()-1)
# Solve the prioritization
solution_nopatch <- solve(problem_rast_nopatch)
# Show the results
terra::plot(solution_nopatch)
Only portions of seamount units are protected here.
