The default Clip Region options apply to all new Map windows.

To set default Clip Region options:

  1. On the PRO tab, click Options, and Map Window to open the Map Preferences dialog box.
  2. Select the Display tab.
  3. In the Apply Clip Region Using group, chose from:
    • Window Device Clipping (all objects) - The Windows Device Display (screen or printer) provides the clip region functionality. All objects (including points, labels, text, rasters, and grids) will be clipped at the Clip Region boundary. This is the default mode.
    • Window Device Clipping (no points, text) - The Windows Device Display provides the Clip Region functionality. All objects will use Windows Device Clipping except points and labels. Points and labels will be completely displayed only if the point or label point lies inside the Clip Region object. Text objects, rasters, and grids are always displayed and never clipped.
    • Erase Outside (no points, text) - This option uses the MapInfo Pro Erase Outside Target functionality to produce the clipping. The Clip Region object is the Cutter object, and all other objects are Target objects for this operation. All objects are clipped using Erase Outside Target, except points and labels. Points and labels completely display only if the point or label point lies inside the Clip Region object. With this option, text objects, raster, and Grids are never clipped and always display.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
