Clip Vector Dataset

Clip Vector Dataset includes inside clip and outside clip. For inside clipping, the portion of the clipped vector dataset within the clipping region is retained in the result dataset; for outside clipping, the portion of the data that is not within the clipping region is preserved the result dataset.

Clip Vector Dataset in distributed analysis services only supports clipping the source dataset with one object from the clip dataset. If there are multiple objects in the clip dataset, by default, the object with the smallest SmID value will be used to clip the source dataset.

When creating a clipping vector dataset task, you need to set the following parameters:

• Source dataset: Required parameter. Specify the dataset to be clipped. The iServer vectorclip resource page automatically lists the Datasets That Meet the Analysis Conditions.

• Clip dataset: Required parameters. The dataset that contains the object to clip the source dataset.

• Clip Mode: Required parameters, including inside clip and outside clip.
