\clip

Description 

\clip allows to automatically hide extra graphical elements outside of the step box. Therefore, it guarantees that nothing will be drawn beyond the limit of the step (see § and § to define these limits). It can be useful combined with the \scale operator. This operator can be found in different places :

• inside step blocks (local)
• between step blocks (global)

When it is found between steps its action is global, that is to say that all next steps will be clipped. When it's found inside a step this means that this current step only will be clipped. This case has two different syntaxes whether specific limits are given or not.

Usage

  \step {
    ....
    \clip;  % make this step be clipped with limits previously defined
    ....
  }

  \clip; % next steps will be clipped with limits previously defined
  
  \step {  
    ....  % this step is clipped
  }
 
  \step {
    ....
    \clip(120, 80);  % make this step be clipped with the desired limits
    ....
  }
