Hi Alex,

 

this is not really supported atm in the composer. There are two blog posts 
which might get you going to achieve something similar than your example. But 
grids will definitely be a problem:

Betreff: Re: [Qgis-user] Irregular map frame with transparent mask?

 

Thanks guys for your suggestions. 

 

Unfortunatly this was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a mask in 
the Layouts window. And I would like it to be full transparent regarding other 
elements of the layout.

 

Following the example of the video, I would like to have a map item with the 
shape of that country. but I would like to see the layout items that are around 
the map.

 

Cherry on top of the cake: that the grids still work fine with labels around 
the edges of the irregular shape.

 

I hate cite ESRI but here it goes... Something like this image:

Thanks,

 

Alex

Works like a charm.

Thanks Frank for the tip! Quick and easy:
- copy a feature
- paste as memory layer
- put it on top
- choose 'Inverted polygons' as Symbology
- fiddle with transparency

Is worth a blog post somewhere if you ask me :-)

Regards,
