+====== Patcher Continuous State ======
 ===== Description =====
-This functor treats cell values (landscape map) as stocks of a continuous variable by multiplying the cell values per its spatial dimension (ha). It then harvests quantities of these cells based on a total demand quantity (quota) and a probability map for choosing the cells to be harvested (e.g. profitability), resulting in a depleted map of stock values. The harvest is split in patches whose dimension distribution and forms are inputs.
+This functor generates new patches of a certain class or category, allocating a continuous quantity of stock, rather than a discrete number of cells, up to a specified quota.
+===== Inputs =====
+^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
+| Continuous Landscape  | [[Map Type]]  | Map of stocks. Each cell represents the amount of stock stored, in units per hectare.  |
+| Probabilities  | [[Map Type]]  | Map of spatial probabilities.  |
+| Quota  | [[Real Value Type]]  | Accumulation quota, in units.  |
+| Mean  | [[Real Value Type]]  | Patch mean, in hectares.  |
+| Variance  | [[Real Value Type]]  | Patch variance, in hectares.  |
+| Isometry  | [[Real Value Type]]  | Patch isometry.  |
+===== Optional Inputs =====
+^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^ Default Value  ^
+| Neighbor Window Lines  | [[Positive Integer Value Type]]  | Number of lines of the neighborhood search window. This is an advanced port.  | 3  |
+| Neighbor Window Columns  | [[Positive Integer Value Type]]  | Number of columns of the neighborhood search window. This is an advanced port.  | 3  |
+| Prune Factor  | [[Real Value Type]]  | A multiple of the quantity of stock to be allocated, used to size the vector where cells are ranked for the subsequent draw. This is an advanced port.  | 10  |
+===== Outputs =====
+^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
+| Modified Continuous Landscape  | [[Map Type]]  | Map of remaining stocks.  |
+| Modified Probabilities  | [[Map Type]]  | Map of depleted spatial probabilities.  |
+| Remaining Quota  | [[Real Value Type]]  | Quota that could not be accumulated.  |
+===== Group =====

+===== Notes =====
+This functor works like Patcher, but accumulates a continuous quantity of stock into new patches, up to Quota, instead of transitioning a discrete number of cells.
+Patch isometry is a number varying from 0 to 2. Patches assume a more isometric form as this number increases.
