Crops the display of a selected image to a specified boundary.
The clipping boundary determines the portion of a raster image that is hidden, either outside or inside the boundary. The visibility of the clipping boundary is controlled by the IMAGEFRAME system variable. The boundary you specify must be in a plane parallel to the image object.
When you select an image, the ribbon Image contextual tab displays options for creating and deleting clipping boundaries.
The following prompts are displayed.
Turns on clipping and displays the image clipped to the previously defined boundary.
Turns off clipping and displays the entire image and frame.
If you reclip the image while clipping is turned off, clipping is automatically turned back on. You are prompted to delete the old boundary even when clipping is turned off and the clipping boundary is not visible.
Removes a predefined clipping boundary and redisplays the full original image.
Defines a rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary, or generates a polygonal clipping boundary from a polyline.
Defines the boundary with the selected polyline. The polyline can be open but must consist of straight line segments and cannot intersect itself.
Defines a polygonal clipping boundary with three or more points that you specify for the vertices of a polygon.
Defines a rectangular boundary with the points that you specify for opposite corners.
Inverts the mode of the clipping boundary: objects are clipped either outside the boundary or inside the boundary.
