 Tasks in QGIS Vector Clipping The clip tool works by cutting a piece of one data set by one or more features from another data set. It can be thought of as a cookie cutter. Perhaps we have a specific area of interest. Our goal is to take a larger data set and clip it so only the data that falls within our area of interest remains. Select the processing tab in the top menu bar, click Toolbox, type clip in the search bar, and double click the clip tool. Under Input Layer, use the drop-down arrow to select the layer that you would like to clip. In this case we would like to clip the LAN use. Under Overlay Layer, use the drop-down arrow again to select the layer you would like the input layer to be clipped to. In this case we will use the Ward 6 boundary. Under Clipped, select the browse icon to save the new layer in your desired location. If you do not save the layer, QGIS will generate a temporary layer that you will be able to save later. Select Run. Once the tool finishes, click Close. You now have a layer which displays only the LAN use in our area of interest. For more information on QGIS, visit the UTM Library QGIS playlist.
