Clip region

Clipping a file with a free form area. Points and lines remaining other side of the border line are cut off. You can use active file or all vector files. Raster files are clipped using bounding box around the given area. The border line can be added into the files modified.

Mouse, Points

Clips area using border line pointed by mouse. With the Alt-key cuts lines with the border line, but does not remove inside or outside part. Points is current amount of points in the border line.

Border file

Clips areas using closed breaklines in the given border file.

Copy to element list

Copies clipped areas to new element list elements. Original files are not modified.

In copying inside and outside are handled differently. When copying inside parts, each border line forms a new file containing objects from all clipped files. New files are named using border file line numbers. When copying outside parts, each clipped element forms a new file where objects inside border lines are removed. New files are named by appending suffix '_outside' to the original element name.

With raster images inside clipping forms new files form each border line and each clipped element.

Save to directory

Clipped files are written to the subdirectory named after border file. Inside and outside handling uses same rules as in copying to the element list.

All vector files

Function is applied to all vector and sounding files instead of just active file.

All raster files

Function is applied to all raster files instead of just active file.

Add border

Adds border rectangle to the file as a breakline.

Clip lines

The part of a line remaining other side of the border is cut off and a new point is calculated at the clip edge.

Keep inside / Keep outside

Determines which side of the border line is left intact after clipping.

Close line

The first point of the line is repeated as the last point of the line so that the line is closed.

Back

Deletes the last given point. If your search method was breakline, only the last section of the line is cancelled, not the entire line.

Reset

Removes all the given points and starts from beginning.
