That tool is designed to help users to quickly generate cartographic masking layer to enlight an area of interest.
Current features are:
- creates or modifies a mask relying on current polygon selection (on active layer)
- creates or modifies a mask via a call of do_mask function so that mask can be called programmatically from other plugins
- opens a dialog to choose mask layer properties:
- style options (default is inverted polygon renderer + border shading)
- buffer around mask
- filter labels of features falling outside area of interest (achieved by a $in_mask boolean filter on labeling placement options)
- choose mask layer format (Memory or any OGR datasource)
Mask plugin was developped by Xavier Culos (AEAG) and contributed by Hugo Mercier (Oslandia) on funding by Agence de l'eau Adour Garonne.
