This feature allows users to enable map clipping for layout map items
so that the maps are clipped to the boundary of the current atlas feature.
(It's available for polygon atlas coverage layers only, for obvious reasons!)
Options exist for:
- Enabling or disabling the clipping on a per-map basis
- Specifying the clipping type:
- "Clip During Render Only": applies a painter based clip, so that
portions of vector features which sit outside the atlas feature become
invisible
- "Clip Feature Before Render": applies the clip before rendering features,
so borders of features which fall partially outside the atlas feature
will still be visible on the boundary of the atlas feature
- "Render Intersecting Features Unchanged": just renders all features
which intersect the current atlas feature, but without clipping their
geometry
- Controlling whether labels should be forced placed inside the atlas feature,
or whether they may be placed outside the feature
- Restricting the clip to a subset of the layers in the project, so that
only some are clipped
