The main takeaway when analyzing Inkscape vs GIMP is that Inkscape is intended for creating digital illustrations, whereas GIMP is intended for editing photos. The clipping square must be on top (easiest done by putting it in a layer that’s on top). The cropping square object can be in a separate layer. When I need to print a map that is just the central area, I select the top layer that is just a rectangle surrounding the part of the map that I want. For example, my “world map” is four areas.
