Feature request for a Clip to Art option in VectorStyler's Vector Halftone panel

[Boldline]

I wanted to follow up on my earlier request about partial halftone dots at object edges. VectorCraft has a Clip to Art checkbox in its Vector Halftone panel that shows how this could work in VectorStyler.

Could VectorStyler add a similar checkbox to its Halftone panel? With it enabled, the dot pattern could extend past the object boundary and be clipped to the shape. Any dot that crosses the edge would show only the portion inside the shape, even if its center falls outside.

For screen-print artwork, this would let the pattern run right up to the edge without having to create an oversized halftone and clip it manually. I prefer VectorStyler’s halftone controls overall and would like to be able to do this directly while keeping the effect live and editable.

Here is a video showing how it is done in the halftone panel in Vectorcraft

(For the record, I prefer the Halftone features in VS over Vectorcraft)

@Boldline In the Halftone panel menu there is a "Clipped Halftone", it is on by default.

@VectorStyler Thanks for pointing out the clip option in VS's halftone panel. It does not seem to chnage anything whether it's selected or not. Is there another step I'm missing?
In the example below (made in VS) the two top shapes are the same - the right side copy just has a halftone applied to it. How would I adjust the halftone so that it's not got the automatic buffer around it? Engaging the "clipped content" does not have a visual change.

with the clipped content on - same look. (unless there's another setting to change)

UPDATE: The buffer is related to the stroke on the object. If I remove the stroke, the halftone goes right to the edge. However the clipping option still does not allow the halftone to extend beyond the selection

@Boldline Send me the file used in those screenshots.

@Boldline This is a bug, will be fixed in the next build

@VectorStyler
The Repeater has the exact same issue as well. Please see the difference between version 1.2.090 and 1.3.033

It would be great if Vector Halftone could have an Expand feature, just like the one in Repeater.
