Package: cairo

Function cairo-reset-clip

Lambda List

cairo-reset-clip (cr)

Arguments

cr -- a cairo-t context

Details

Reset the current clip region to its original, unrestricted state. That is, set the clip region to an infinitely large shape containing the target surface. Equivalently, if infinity is too hard to grasp, one can imagine the clip region being reset to the exact bounds of the target surface.

Note that code meant to be reusable should not call the cairo-reset-clip function as it will cause results unexpected by higher-level code which calls the cairo-clip function. Consider using the cairo-save and cairo-restore functions around the cairo-clip function as a more robust means of temporarily restricting the clip region.
