Add locked in constraints

Add constraints to a conservation planning problem to ensure that specific planning units are selected (or allocated to a specific zone) in the solution. For example, it may be desirable to lock in planning units that are inside existing protected areas so that the solution fills in the gaps in the existing reserve network. If specific planning units should be locked out of a solution, use add_locked_out_constraints. For problems with non-binary planning unit allocations (e.g. proportions), the add_manual_locked_constraints function can be used to lock planning unit allocations to a specific value.

Arguments

x	ConservationProblem-class object.
locked_in	Object that determines which planning units that should be locked in. See the Details section for more information.

Details

The locked planning units can be specified in several different ways. Generally, the locked data should correspond to the planning units in the argument to x. To help make working with Raster-class planning unit data easier, the locked data should correspond to cell indices in the Raster-class data. For example, integer arguments should correspond to cell indices and logical arguments should have a value for each cell---regardless of which planning unit cells contain NA values.

integer

vector of indices pertaining to which planning units should be locked in the solution. This argument is only compatible with problems that contain a single zone.

logical

vector containing TRUE and/or FALSE values that indicate which planning units should be locked in the solution. This argument is only compatible with problems that contain a single zone.

matrix

containing logical TRUE and/or FALSE values which indicate if certain planning units are should be locked to a specific zone in the solution. Each row corresponds to a planning unit, each column corresponds to a zone, and each cell indicates if the planning unit should be locked to a given zone. Thus each row should only contain at most a single TRUE value.

character

field (column) name(s) that indicate if planning units should be locked in the solution. This type of argument is only compatible if the planning units in the argument to x are a Spatial-class or data.frame object. The fields (columns) must have logical (i.e. TRUE or FALSE) values indicating if the planning unit is to be locked in the solution. For problems containing multiple zones, this argument should contain a field (column) name for each management zone.

Raster-class

planning units in x that intersect with non-zero and non-NA raster cells are locked in the solution. For problems that contain multiple zones, the Raster-class object must contain a layer for each zone. Note that for multi-band arguments, each pixel must only contain a non-zero value in a single band.
