RockWorks | Utilities | Grafix | 2D Utilities | Clip
This program is used to extract from an existing map or diagram (created in RockPlot2D and saved as an Rw2D file) all of the contents that lie within a user-declared rectangular area. The clipped image is displayed in a new, untitled RockPlot2D window.
This is the same program tool that's available in RockPlot2D's Utilities menu, but is available to RCL command scripts.

- X-Maximum (Eastern Border): Click here to enter the Easting coordinate for the east/right edge of the image.
