Project: QGIS

Version: 3.26

Feature: Selective masking vectorization

QGIS introduced a selective masking feature in version 3.12, however the implementation relied on the rasterization of the map products and made it unsuitable for some cartographic work.

This long awaited feature implements selective masking in a way that vectorizes appropriate masked or clipped features wherever possible, allowing high quality vector outputs for SVG and PDF maps which use the masking features of QGIS.

This is implemented in line with QEP 186.

This feature was developed by Julien Cabieces
