Graphics::SetClip(constGraphicsPath*,CombineMode) method (gdiplusgraphics.h)

The Graphics::SetClip method updates the clipping region of this Graphics object to a region that is the combination of itself and the region specified by a graphics path. If a figure in the path is not closed, this method treats the nonclosed figure as if it were closed by a straight line that connects the figure's starting and ending points.
