I'm thinking you can make polygons shapes with <br>
holes or islands. If you do get this done you <br>
will be alternating between clockwise and counter<br>
clockwise nested polygons.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Bob,
There is a link to unsubscribe below. BTW, I like your idea. AutoCAD has this. You could make a feature request in the bug report page. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html</a>
By the way, can we make polygons shapes with holes or islands??? If so, you can probably use the transparency to simulate what you need.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">No, there's no way to achieve this properly using current
functionality. To do it properly we need to ensure that the map
rendering respects the actual shape of the layout map, and doesn't try
to place labels or other symbology effects outside of the actual
visible area.
