<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One other option, in addition or Miquel’s, would be to draw the polygons as you have shown them below. You can then use the
<b>Inverted Polygon </b>option under <b>Properties, Symbology</b>, this will create a view like what you are looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If you set the polygon fill to white, you can even set the up the transparency so as to show the rest of the map areas only lighter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

like a Tetris, you can't do it. The figures circle, triangular, add polygon,... can't show maps inside them.<br>
Someone know how can show maps inside irregular polygons in layouts?<br>
Would be nice that QGIS has this options in layouts...</span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
