poke it to the top again and make a bit alternation.

| Apr 10, 2012 at 10:37 | comment | added | István Zachar | I can only second what @YvesKlett has said, pointing to Heike's graphics intersection solution, though I know you are aware of it. It is only helpful if you have simple polygons (i.e. no disconnected parts), and still - just as Yves said - you have to make the intersection for each polygon-pair... | |

| Feb 20, 2012 at 8:50 | comment | added | Yves Klett | For current versions of Mathematica this is not possible AFAIK. You can do it the hard way by intersecting each edge of the to-be-clipped polygons with the mask polygon edges and deleting resulting outlier elements. This is a fair bit of work though. I have some hopes (and the urgent desire) of this being adressed in future versions at least for 2D cases. | |

@Szabolcs I don't think so. I used << Version5``Graphics`` and as far as I can tell, the PostScript engine can only deal with rectangular clipping regions.

| Feb 19, 2012 at 20:21 | comment | added | Szabolcs | This would probably be doable in the old, version 5 graphics, which are based on PostScript. | |

| Feb 19, 2012 at 16:48 | comment | added | Mr.Wizard | Absolutely. This question is what I initially thought that one was, and IMHO should have been. Unfortunately I still don't have an answer. I think to do this properly WRI needs to add a ClippingPath function. Here's hoping there is already some undocumented function that does this. | |
| Feb 19, 2012 at 16:45 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @Mr.Wizard The difference is that here I'd like to clip vector graphics, if this is possible at all. Rasterization worsens the quality and increases the file size. | |
