By clipping an image, you can display and plot only a portion of the image.
To clip an image

- Select the image to clip. You can clip one image at a time.
- Press Enter or type n to create a new clip boundary.
- Type r to create a rectangular boundary, or type p to create a polygonal boundary.
- Pick the points to define the clip boundary. You must pick at least three points to define a polygonal boundary.

You can modify the clip boundary by defining a new boundary for the image or by using object grips.
