This is what we are using for our clipping object. Now, place another object on top of all the others. Take the following assortment of objects: The easiest way to understand clipping is to see it in action. Clipping can be applied to any object (including groups, layers, bitmaps, etc.) The clip function in Inkscape allows an object or a group of objects to be clipped (cropped) so that only parts of the elements are visible. Use of patterns fills is addressed in a dedicated chapter. There are benefits to working with clip paths or masks combined with either individual or grouped objects. This non-destructive editing makes it so that we can also release objects from from their bounded areas as well. These methods do not delete parts of your objects, they merely tell the SVG renderer not to display them. Clip paths and masks bound the contents of the items they contain, whereas patterns are only visible inside the bounds of the object they are applied to (in all three cases cropping visibility). A common property that all three share is the concept of boundaries.

Clip paths, masks, and patterns are greatly useful additions to an artist or designers' tool set.
