[Qgis-user] Clipping basemap

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Mike, 

Perhaps you could use the "inverted polygon" renderer to cover/hide
areas outside your area of interest? 

See
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#inverted-polygon-renderer
or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhYDdTC2vg  

By using this symbology technique you are not actually clipping the
data, but hide areas ouside a defined polygon "on-the-fly". 

Hope this helps, 

Andreas
