<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>Perhaps you could use the "inverted polygon" renderer to cover/hide areas outside your area of interest?</p>
<p>See <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#inverted-polygon-renderer">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#inverted-polygon-renderer</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhYDdTC2vg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhYDdTC2vg</a> </p>
<p>By using this symbology technique you are not actually clipping the data, but hide areas ouside a defined polygon "on-the-fly".</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<div dir="ltr">I am trying to clip a basemap to a polygon and am struggling. I have tried to follow suggestions from others about doing this but have not been able to make it work.
