<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>You can't directly zoom to the inverted polygon for the display in composer.</p>
<p>But: you can zoom to the inverted polygon in the main canvas (Right click on the layer in the legend tree and zoom to layer) and then synchronize the main canvas and the view in composer.</p>
<p>Use this button (set to map canvas extent):</p>
<p><img src="cid:54854b96f61784673d80a7fac1301fa4@carto.net" /></p>
<p>Or you can interactively pan/zoom to the extent you want with the following tool:</p>
<p><img src="cid:763415562ecca219f17fa278a6b1b51b@carto.net" /></p>
<p>First select the map element you want to pan/zoom and then use the above marked tool.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<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" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://docs.qgis.org/<wbr />testing/en/docs/user_manual/<wbr />working_with_vector/vector_<wbr />properties.html#inverted-<wbr />polygon-renderer</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhYDdTC2vg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://<wbr />www.youtube.com/watch?v=<wbr />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>
