Collapse All Syntax| HRESULT PDFPAGE_Clip () |
RemarksThis method installs the current path as the boundary for clipping subsequent drawings. The use of the clip operators may require some care, because clip operator do not use the current path. Also note that there is no practical way of removing a clipping path, except by using PDFPAGE_GStateRestore before clipping. This methods uses a non-zero winding number rule for defining the "path inside".
Equivalent in new interface: IPDFDocument4::Clip.
