The clipping boundary determines the portion
of an image outside the boundary that is hidden. The visibility
of the clipping boundary is controlled by the FRAME system variable.
The boundary you specify
must be in a plane parallel to the PDF underlay.

CLIP command
to clip images, external references, viewports, and underlays.
