Hi Tom
Cutting by a line is easy:
- add a way with nodes for start and end of the line where it cut's the
polygon first and last.
- add nodes where that new way intersects the old polygon
- split the new way at these nodes
- split the old polygon at these nodes
- delete the parts of the old polygon that is outside the new one
- combine polygon and some of the new ways (parts of the one you drawed
initially) where that should be done
If that creates holes, combine the resulting parts as a multipolygon if
necessary.
Clipping by a new polygon is basically the same - but draw that new
polygon first instead of the line, then proceed as described above.
As far as I know there is no automatic way to do one of these.
regards
Peter
