This is very similar to the other two answers with the main difference being that I install a local coordinate system on the pic to make things more convenient. You still need to find out the coordinates by looking, but now the clip path becomes



clip (0.6345,0) -- (0.963,1) -| (1,0) -- cycle;


where the coordinates are such that (0,0) is the lower left and (1,1) the upper right corner of the "reference" picture. This way you do not have to put in explicit dimensions.

  • @Schödinger's cat This seems very close! Is there a way to move the triangle image more to the right?

    – N3buchadnezzar
    Oct 1 at 17:26











  • @N3buchadnezzar The position of the triangle is specified in clip (0.6345,0) -- (0.963,1) -| (1,0) -- cycle;, which says that the lower left point is at 63.45% of the width and the upper point at 96.3% of the width. If you increase these x coordinates, the triangle will move right. (I adjusted these values to match the white line in your image.)

    – Schrödinger's cat
    Oct 1 at 17:30











  • English is hard! The placement of the white line is perfect. I wonder if it is possible to move the underlying image like so i.stack.imgur.com/PSTfh.png

    – N3buchadnezzar
    Oct 1 at 17:38











  • @N3buchadnezzar Sure. Just replace path let p1=(X.north east) in (0,0) nodeincludegraphics[width=x1,height=y1]picB; by path let p1=(X.north east) in (0.1,0) nodeincludegraphics[width=x1,height=y1]picB;, i.e. increase the x position of the second picture. (I am on a different machine now, so I can't tell if 0.1 is a good choice, but you need to increase the x value of the coordinate.)

    – Schrödinger's cat
    Oct 1 at 17:47











  • Yes, yes. I was able to figure this out right after asking. I can adjust the values myself. I am creating a package where the user is given the options to add images and move them. My images are just for examples =)

To expand on Ulrike's comment, here is a quick and dirty example on how to clip an external image that is directly taken from the pgf manual



documentclass[12pt,a4paper]article
usepackagegraphicx,tikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture[path image/.style=
path picture=
node at (path picture bounding box.center)
includegraphics[height=3cm]#1
;]
draw [path image=example-image-b,thick](0,1) -- (0,3) -- (1.5, 1.5) -- (1,1) -- cycle;
endtikzpicture
enddocument


Then you can superimpose two images, once having clipped one.

    Another solution clipping images included as nodes:



    documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]standalone
    begindocument
    begintikzpicture
    beginscope
    path[clip] (0,0)--++(0:3.5cm)--++(75:3cm)-|cycle;
    node[anchor=south west] includegraphics[width=6cm]Q7xB7;
    endscope
    beginscope
    path[clip] (6,0)--++(180:2.3cm)--++(75:3cm)-|cycle;
    node[anchor=south east] at (6,0) includegraphics[height=3cm]8pyV9;
    endscope
    endtikzpicture
    enddocument


    enter image description here



    Update



    If you want to cover some part of the page with this picture, it's better to use absolut positioning, which can be done with remember picture and overlay options and using the current page node. You need to compile twice before getting the correct result.



    The white space around the figure was due to inner sep which keeps a certain distance between node contents and border. With inner sep=0pt, there is no space.



    Finally you can use bb ("bounding box") option from graphicx package to select which part of the included figure is shown: bb=0 0 1400 702 means take the rectangle from (0,0) to (1400,702) points (Postscript points not pixels). I think you'll have to test to find the desired fragment.

    • This seems close, but it still seems I have to manually set the dimensions. What I really want is the deep blue to fill the bottom of the page, and then stretch or shrink the other half to fit the space. Here is what I have so far i.imgur.com/3OqC3HJ.png. I can add an MWE in the first post or create a new question.

    This is very similar to the other two answers with the main difference being that I install a local coordinate system on the pic to make things more convenient. You still need to find out the coordinates by looking, but now the clip path becomes



    clip (0.6345,0) -- (0.963,1) -| (1,0) -- cycle;


    where the coordinates are such that (0,0) is the lower left and (1,1) the upper right corner of the "reference" picture. This way you do not have to put in explicit dimensions.

    beginscope
    clip (0.6345,0) -- (0.963,1) -| (1,0) -- cycle;

    • @Schödinger's cat This seems very close! Is there a way to move the triangle image more to the right?

      – N3buchadnezzar
      Oct 1 at 17:26











    • @N3buchadnezzar The position of the triangle is specified in clip (0.6345,0) -- (0.963,1) -| (1,0) -- cycle;, which says that the lower left point is at 63.45% of the width and the upper point at 96.3% of the width. If you increase these x coordinates, the triangle will move right. (I adjusted these values to match the white line in your image.)

      – Schrödinger's cat
      Oct 1 at 17:30











    • English is hard! The placement of the white line is perfect. I wonder if it is possible to move the underlying image like so i.stack.imgur.com/PSTfh.png

      – N3buchadnezzar
      Oct 1 at 17:38











    • @N3buchadnezzar Sure. Just replace path let p1=(X.north east) in (0,0) nodeincludegraphics[width=x1,height=y1]picB; by path let p1=(X.north east) in (0.1,0) nodeincludegraphics[width=x1,height=y1]picB;, i.e. increase the x position of the second picture. (I am on a different machine now, so I can't tell if 0.1 is a good choice, but you need to increase the x value of the coordinate.)

    To expand on Ulrike's comment, here is a quick and dirty example on how to clip an external image that is directly taken from the pgf manual



    documentclass[12pt,a4paper]article
    usepackagegraphicx,tikz
    begindocument
    begintikzpicture[path image/.style=
    path picture=
    node at (path picture bounding box.center)
    includegraphics[height=3cm]#1
    ;]
    draw [path image=example-image-b,thick](0,1) -- (0,3) -- (1.5, 1.5) -- (1,1) -- cycle;
    endtikzpicture
    enddocument


    Then you can superimpose two images, once having clipped one.

            Another solution clipping images included as nodes:

            beginscope

            If you want to cover some part of the page with this picture, it's better to use absolut positioning, which can be done with remember picture and overlay options and using the current page node. You need to compile twice before getting the correct result.



            The white space around the figure was due to inner sep which keeps a certain distance between node contents and border. With inner sep=0pt, there is no space.



            Finally you can use bb ("bounding box") option from graphicx package to select which part of the included figure is shown: bb=0 0 1400 702 means take the rectangle from (0,0) to (1400,702) points (Postscript points not pixels). I think you'll have to test to find the desired fragment.

            • This seems close, but it still seems I have to manually set the dimensions. What I really want is the deep blue to fill the bottom of the page, and then stretch or shrink the other half to fit the space. Here is what I have so far i.imgur.com/3OqC3HJ.png. I can add an MWE in the first post or create a new question.

            Another solution clipping images included as nodes:



            documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]standalone
            begindocument
            begintikzpicture
            beginscope
            path[clip] (0,0)--++(0:3.5cm)--++(75:3cm)-|cycle;
            node[anchor=south west] includegraphics[width=6cm]Q7xB7;
            endscope
            beginscope
            path[clip] (6,0)--++(180:2.3cm)--++(75:3cm)-|cycle;
            node[anchor=south east] at (6,0) includegraphics[height=3cm]8pyV9;
            endscope
            endtikzpicture
            enddocument


            enter image description here



            Update



            If you want to cover some part of the page with this picture, it's better to use absolut positioning, which can be done with remember picture and overlay options and using the current page node. You need to compile twice before getting the correct result.



            The white space around the figure was due to inner sep which keeps a certain distance between node contents and border. With inner sep=0pt, there is no space.



            Finally you can use bb ("bounding box") option from graphicx package to select which part of the included figure is shown: bb=0 0 1400 702 means take the rectangle from (0,0) to (1400,702) points (Postscript points not pixels). I think you'll have to test to find the desired fragment.



            documentclassarticle
            usepackagetikz
            usepackage[b5paper, lmargin=25mm, rmargin=25mm, tmargin=27mm, bmargin=30mm]geometry

            %usepackagegraphics,graphicx,calc
            usepackagecalc
            definecolormainHTML003349
            pagestyleempty

            defmygraphicincludegraphics[width=paperwidth]Q7xB7.png
            newlengthgraphicheight
            setlengthgraphicheightheightofmygraphic

            begindocument

            begintikzpicture[overlay, remember picture]
            %
            beginscope
            path[clip] (current page.south west)--++(0:10.8cm)--++(70:graphicheight)-|cycle;
            node[anchor=south west, inner sep=0pt] at (current page.south west) mygraphic;
            endscope%
            beginscope
            path[clip] (current page.south east)--++(180:6.7cm)--++(70:graphicheight)-|cycle;
            node[anchor=south east, inner sep=0pt] at (current page.south east) includegraphics[height=graphicheight, bb=0 0 1400 702, clip]8pyV9;
            endscope

            • This seems close, but it still seems I have to manually set the dimensions. What I really want is the deep blue to fill the bottom of the page, and then stretch or shrink the other half to fit the space. Here is what I have so far i.imgur.com/3OqC3HJ.png. I can add an MWE in the first post or create a new question.
