how to make a rectangular area of longitude and latitude
coordinates that enables to cut away the area not needed in other layers?
In QGIS 2.2 (and just about any GIS that has geoprocessing tools) there are
two ways to extract data.
The first is to clip the data from the existing file using
Hello everyone..
I will be going on a little bit here now..
Wonder how to create a clip/mask layer or do something to the same effect?
More specifically, how to make a rectangular area of longitude and latitude
coordinates that enables to cut away the area not needed in other layers?

As for why this isn't the way it
