Selecting a clip region

A clip region focuses attention on a location by hiding the rest of the area from view. The concealed areas remain available and are included in any processes that you employ. You can create a subset or clip of the data.

From the Clipping Layer drop-down list in the Define Clip Region window, select the layer that you want to use to define the extents of the clip region.
The list displays all raster and vector layers that are currently loaded in the Map view.
If one or more shapes are selected on a vector layer before you define the clip region, the Clip Using Selected Shapes Only option becomes available.
- Select the checkbox to clip the region using the exact boundaries of the selected shapes.
- Clear the checkbox to clip the region using the full extents of the specified vector or raster layer.
Click OK to close the Define Clip Region window.
From the Area Properties window, select Enable from the Visual Clipping section, then click Apply to view the results.
You may change or disable the clip region at any time.
Click OK to accept the changes, or Cancel to close the window without applying any changes.
