[Inkscape-devel] Cropping a bitmap along path

Hi,

currently I'm testing Inkscape for the german computer magazine c't. I'm trying to crop an imported bitmap along the path described by a vector object (e.g a star) to gain a bitmap element shaped like the object (which I want to use as a "die"). I've tried the boolean operators for shapes and paths, but nothing happened. Is this operation possible in Inkscape?

Thank you!

Regards,

Peter König
