Feature request #16315
Updated by Regis Haubourg almost 7 years ago
QGIS needs the option to set vector layer or features as a mask for other layers of the users´choice.
This mask should crop all other features of the user-specified layers to the specified extent (hide everything
that falls outside of the mask) without having to use geoprocessing tools. I know there is a mask plugin, but that
does not actually crop the geometry of other layers nor does it allow to exclude layers from being masked.
It would be great to have that option within the layeer options or even the projects settings
