We have recently switched from ArcGIS to QGIS and I'm trying to simply limit the amount of data that shows to a defined area.



In ArcGIS this is simply 'data frame clip'.



Can I do this in QGIS?



I don't want to delete any data, just limit what is shown by clipping to a rectangle or view.

  • Hi Taras, I haven't! I was hoping I could just clip to view or clip to a box without having to clip each layer. Does this function exist? I just want to limit the amount of data the machine is regenerating each time. Its knowing what to search for on this system!

  • @Keith - do you mean in the map view or in the print composer? Looking at Data Frame Clip that seems to be a print composer type thing for producing printed maps but I may be wrong. I don't think QGIS can handle non-rectangular composer windows at present.

You could use the plugin MASK. With the advantage that this mask can be dynamic when used with the "atlas" of the layout, generating multiple maps visually clipped.
