Clip & crop (clipcrop / std)

Description

The transform clipcrop clips or crops a dataset given a rectangle area.

Cropping means setting all values to 0, except inside the area of interest. Clipping is the opposite, keeping all values the same, except the ones in the area of interest.

Pixels matching the area of interest are pixels for which the center coordinates are inside the area to clip/crop. The borders of each grid cells are not accounted for.
