I'm composing a print layout with a map on QGIS, and I'm trying to shape the map based on a layer.

I have a layer that sets the limit of the study area, and I need to put on the layout only the things inside the limit. Outside the limit of the study area I want it to be empty, without the satellite image and other informations.

Does anybody knows how to do that?

  • In ArcGIS Desktop a data frame can be graphically clipped to a feature or features in a layer via its properties. Perhaps look for similar terminology.
