Attribute: CLIP
Contents
The area defined by a CLIP attribute is copied from a file and inserted into the IDF document.
CLIP="fieldname"
or
CLIP="left,top,right,bottom" (deprecated).
If there are no commas, then the parameter is assumed to be a fieldname whose boundaries are used to set up the 'clip region', see Element FIELD and Element DEFINE.
The top left corner of the resulting area is positioned at the LEFT (or X) and TOP (or Y) position.
Tip: the clip may be positioned relative to the original position of the CLIP. E.g.
CLIPX="CLIP.LEFT + 50"
CLIPY="CLIP.TOP + 150"
X="CLIP.RIGHT + 100"
X="CLIP.BOTTOM" + 200
