Clip a stretched image.

How do you clip a stretched image? (using scale values, no absolutes)

Doesn't seem to be a way to both stretch and clip, or to stretch tiled images and then clip them...

It is difficult to answer your question since you provided so little information. No screen shots, no layout-xml, no code, no log / version info, no mention of the widgets you are using, etc. So until you provide more information the only thing I can really suggest is to look into the ClippedByParent window property.

In the looknfeel file only. The XOR question was also about the looknfeel file.

So:
1) Stretch an image. (left, top, width, height) <-- "Stretched" property.
2) Clip the stretched image. (left, top, width, height) <-- can't be done?

Is that not understandable?

I think I understand, although some pictures would certainly clarify the matter.

I do not think the xml scheme supports any explicit widget clipping elements or attributes. However, I am pretty sure that you can fake this with a custom widget such that it is composed of two widgets 1) a parent container window which will be used to clip the child window and 2) a child window without scrollbars and ClippedByParent enabled. You can think use the PropertyLinkDefinition elements to make the child-properties (like size/scale) available as a property of the composite/parent widget. You may even be able to adopt an existing composite widget like ScrollablePane by simply tweaking the definition to suit your needs.

As I am no expert on the xml-scheme I cannot give a concrete example. I do think this is possible with a little R&D put in.

I'll try, thanks.
