PlotRangeClipping
is an option for graphics functions that specifies whether graphics objects should be clipped at the edge of the region defined by PlotRange , or should be allowed to extend to the actual edge of the image.
Details
- With PlotRangeClipping->True , any parts of objects that extend beyond the region defined by PlotRange will be clipped. With PlotRangeClipping->False they are not clipped until they reach the edge of the whole image.
- With PlotRangeClipping->True , graphics objects are effectively clipped to the region defined by the rectangle from Scaled [{0,0}] to Scaled [{1,1}].
- With PlotRangeClipping->False , clipping is done only to the rectangle from ImageScaled [{0,0}] to ImageScaled [{1,1}].
- The default setting for PlotRangeClipping is False for Graphics and True for functions such as Plot .
- Clipping is done for all graphics objects, including lines, points, text, polygons, and disks.
