Feature: Choice of clipping behaviour for line pattern fills

You can now control how lines in a line pattern fill symbol are clipped to polygon shapes. The available options include:

  • Clip During Render Only: lines are created covering the whole bounding box of the feature which are then clipped while drawing. The line extremities (beginning and end) will not be visible (this is same behaviour as older QGIS releases).
  • Clip Lines Before Render: lines are clipped to the exact shape of the polygon prior to rendering. The line extremities (including cap styles, start/end marker line symbols, etc) will be visible, and may sometimes extend outside of the polygon (depending on the line symbol settings).
  • No Clipping: no clipping at all is done - the lines will cover the whole bounding box of the feature
