Thank you.  That was exactly what I needed -- just didn't know what to call it.

Hello,

I'm trying to draw something for my webcomic and have come across a 
problem.  I have several images of flags and I want to just take a 
section of them. 

For example, I would like to be able to draw a shape (a circle) on top 
of the flag, then remove all of the flag that sticks outside of the 
shape so I'm left with just a circular section of the flag.  Is there 
any way to do this?
    

Clipping (Object->Clip->Set):

Duplicate the circle and use one copy to clip the flag.
