Hi.

I found that I could do some cool things with spray tool. But, I wonder if it's possible to to like subject states?

Let say I have a circle, and I want to spray something onto that circle. A lot of the sprayed object will get outside the circle.
How can I make it so that all sprayed objects (or part of) that is NOT inside the circle goes invisible?

Thanks

Group them, then clip the group with a copy of the circle. (or a clone if you want to be fancy so it remains editable.)

Object --> Clip --> Set
Thank you.

I use pattern feature very much for this case, to be able to transform (move, rotate, scale) all the sprayed objects together inside the circle, manually.

If that's useful for you... Don't draw the circle first as you would naturally do. Just group the sprayed objects and then... Alt+I (object > pattern > objects to pattern). A rectangle is generated with the group inside and you can make the circle out of it, in node tool.

For complex shapes as container, just draw it after the steps above, place it on top of the rect or circle and do ctrl+/ (path > division). You now have two (pos/neg) shapes with the pattern inside. (and can apply to and edit it as much as a simple object)
