I'm not really sure this description covers all the situations. Clipping the map item frame to match atlas feature would mean to me that there is nothing from the map item that would be visible, out of the atlas feature geometry. And that is not really what happens bottom right
So either:
- there is a bug in the implementation
- the option label should be tweaked/clarified
- the order of the options should be reviewed to avoid the feeling that the drop-down menu is a top option to which the following ones are sub-options
- the documentation should be clearer enough what happens in certain circumstances, to not mislead users.
The last option is the one I took but I'm not really sure how to clearly reformulate. So far, what I see is that:
- the map item background (in blue) is removed
- the map item frame color (yellow) is applied to atlas feature
@nirvn Your help would also be appreciated. Thanks
