Graphics::SetClip Method (Graphics)
Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler, as well as thisForm, the Form for the example. The code performs the following actions:
Creates a temporary Graphics from the thisForm Form of the example.
Sets the clipping region of the temporary Graphics to a small square.
Updates the clipping region of the form's graphic object to that of the temporary Graphics.
Fills a large rectangle with a solid black brush.
The result is a small, filled, black square.
public: void SetClipGraphics( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Create temporary graphics object and set its clipping region. Graphics^ newGraphics = this->CreateGraphics(); newGraphics->SetClip( Rectangle(0,0,100,100) ); // Update clipping region of graphics to clipping region of new // graphics. e->Graphics->SetClip( newGraphics ); // Fill rectangle to demonstrate clip region. e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Black ), 0, 0, 500, 300 ); // Release new graphics. delete newGraphics; }
