Re: [Inkscape-user] Exporting to PNG/Cropping question

Spake Christopher B. Wright:

I'm trying to reproduce an effect I was able to create way back when I was using a program called Photo>Graphics on the OS/2 platform. Essentially, it could be set up so that when you defined a page size and then exported to a raster graphic (in this case PNG), any part of the image that exceeded the page boundaries was automatically cropped.

Is this possible with Inkscape? It doesn't seem to be a default setting.

If you export page, the bits outside the page boundary are cropped. If you export `selection', I think you can define an arbitrary bounding box -- i.e. you put an empty rectangle beneath everything else, then export it as the selection to crop outside that area.
