clip, overflow

W3 Consortium logo This section contains a fairly large amount of text, so that we can see the effects of clipping. A clipping region defines what portion of an element's rendered content is visible. By default, the clipping region has the same size and shape as the element's box(es). However, the clipping region may be modified by the 'clip' property. The 'clip' property applies to elements that have an 'overflow' property with a value other than 'visible'.
Set clip area to:
