[OpenLayers-Users] Display only a specific area in the map

[Dean Canlas]

I see. Thanks for your reply Martin. But how does clipping and composting
actually work? Sorry, I haven't really worked with webmaps or webmapping
before but I already read about extents and how to restrict them and by
following what's mostly on OpenLayers' documentation. Not much familiar
with map servers too.

Best regards,
Dean Marty B. Canlas
