Raster Clip
Feature Description
Performs clipping on raster or image datasets and stores the result as a new raster/image dataset.
- Clipping Inside or Outside the Region
When selecting inside-region clipping, the portion of raster data within the clipping area is retained. Conversely, outside-region clipping preserves the portion outside the clipping area.
- Precise Clipping vs Display Clipping
Display clipping retains only data within the clipping area. If clipping boundaries don't align with cell edges, cells will be split - only portions within the clipping area are preserved. Data outside the clipping area but within the original raster block range (gray area in Figure 2) still retains values but remains invisible. This method suits large data processing.
Precise clipping determines cell retention based on whether cell centers fall within the clipping area. For inside-region clipping, cells with centers inside the area are preserved; others are discarded.
