Graphics::IntersectClip Method (Rectangle)
Updates the clip region of this Graphics to the intersection of the current clip region and the specified Rectangle structure.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgse, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:
Creates a rectangle with upper-left corner at (0, 0) and sets the clipping region to this rectangle.
Creates a second rectangle with upper-left corner at (100, 100) and sets the clipping region to the intersection of this rectangle and the current clipping region (the first rectangle).
Fills a large rectangle that includes both previous rectangles with a solid blue brush.
Resets the clipping region to infinite.
Draws rectangles around the two clipping regions. It uses a black pen for the first clipping rectangle and a red pen for the second clipping region.
The result is that only the intersection of the two rectangles is filled with blue.
public: void IntersectClipRectangle( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Set clipping region. Rectangle clipRect = Rectangle(0,0,200,200); e->Graphics->SetClip( clipRect ); // Update clipping region to intersection of // existing region with specified rectangle. Rectangle intersectRect = Rectangle(100,100,200,200); e->Graphics->IntersectClip( intersectRect ); // Fill rectangle to demonstrate effective clipping region. e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Blue ), 0, 0, 500, 500 ); // Reset clipping region to infinite. e->Graphics->ResetClip(); // Draw clipRect and intersectRect to screen. e->Graphics->DrawRectangle( gcnew Pen( Color::Black ), clipRect ); e->Graphics->DrawRectangle( gcnew Pen( Color::Red ), intersectRect ); }
