# Clip Analysis

Extract features from a dataset that intersect with a clipping boundary.

## Overview

Clip analysis extracts features that intersect with a clipping boundary, creating a subset of the input dataset.

## Inputs

- **Dataset**: Dataset to clip
- **Clip Geometry**: GeoJSON geometry for clipping boundary

## Outputs

New dataset containing:

- Features that intersect the boundary
- Geometry clipped to boundary
- Original attributes preserved

## Example

```json
{
  "dataset_id": 123,
  "clip_geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [ ... ]
  }
}
```

## Background Jobs

This analysis runs as a background job. See [Clip Worker](../workers/clip.md) for details.

## Use Cases

- Study area extraction
- Boundary-based filtering
- Area of interest analysis
- Data subset creation

## Notes

- Only intersecting features included
- Geometry clipped to boundary
- Attributes preserved
- Processing time depends on dataset size
