You can fill a closed path with other objects: vector graphics, text, or bitmap
images. These paths are called clipping paths, and the items they contain are called
contents or paste insides. Contents extending beyond the clipping path are
hidden, not deleted, and you can edit, move, and transform them.
Note:
When transforming a clipping path, you can choose whether the transformation
affects the contents.
Select one or more objects to use as the contents.
