Re: [Qgis-user] Irregular map frame with transparent mask?
Hi Nyall, Yes, I think it would be great fit for a crowdfunding effort. Do you think that it would be possible to, at some point in time, use a layer/feature geometry instead? Thanks! I will be waiting for the next crowdfunding campaign to back it up.

Hi Alex, this is not really supported atm in the composer. There are two blog posts which might get you going to achieve something similar than your example. But grids will definitely be a problem: https://anitagraser.com/2016/05/01/how-to-create-round-maps-in-print-composer/ https://smathermather.com/2013/04/09/quantum-gis-compositing-continued/ best, Frank Dipl.

Ok, I fail on the grid labels around the province border...

The process in this video is really outdated, there’s an „inverted polygon“ renderer which does the same without having to go through all the hassle.
