## Description

To support clipping your geometry to rectangles or paths Cogl exposes a stack based API whereby each clip region you push onto the stack is intersected with the previous region.

## Details

### cogl_clip_push_rectangle ()

    void                cogl_clip_push_rectangle            (float x0,
                                                             float y0,
                                                             float x1,
                                                             float y1);

### Warning

`cogl_clip_push_rectangle` has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_framebuffer_push_rectangle_clip()` instead

Specifies a rectangular clipping area for all subsequent drawing operations. Any drawing commands that extend outside the rectangle will be clipped so that only the portion inside the rectangle will be displayed. The rectangle dimensions are transformed by the current model-view matrix.

The rectangle is intersected with the current clip region. To undo the effect of this function, call `cogl_clip_pop()`.

`x0` : | x coordinate for top left corner of the clip rectangle
`y0` : | y coordinate for top left corner of the clip rectangle
`x1` : | x coordinate for bottom right corner of the clip rectangle
`y1` : | y coordinate for bottom right corner of the clip rectangle

Since 1.2

### cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle ()

    void                cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle     (int x_offset,
                                                             int y_offset,
                                                             int width,
                                                             int height);

### Warning

`cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle` has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_framebuffer_push_scissor_clip()` instead

Specifies a rectangular clipping area for all subsequent drawing operations. Any drawing commands that extend outside the rectangle will be clipped so that only the portion inside the rectangle will be displayed. The rectangle dimensions are not transformed by the current model-view matrix.

The rectangle is intersected with the current clip region. To undo the effect of this function, call `cogl_clip_pop()`.

`x_offset` : | left edge of the clip rectangle in window coordinates
`y_offset` : | top edge of the clip rectangle in window coordinates
`width` : | width of the clip rectangle
`height` : | height of the clip rectangle

Since 1.2

### cogl_clip_push_from_path ()

    void                cogl_clip_push_from_path            (void);

### Warning

`cogl_clip_push_from_path` has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_framebuffer_push_path_clip()` instead

Sets a new clipping area using the silhouette of the specified, filled `path`. The clipping area is intersected with the previous clipping area. To restore the previous clipping area, call call `cogl_clip_pop()`.

`path` : | The path to clip with.

Since 1.8

Stability Level: Unstable

### cogl_clip_push_from_path_preserve ()

    void                cogl_clip_push_from_path_preserve   (void);

### Warning

`cogl_clip_push_from_path_preserve` has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_framebuffer_push_path_clip()` instead

Sets a new clipping area using the current path. The current path is then cleared. The clipping area is intersected with the previous clipping area. To restore the previous clipping area, call `cogl_clip_pop()`.

Since 1.0

### cogl_clip_pop ()

    void                cogl_clip_pop                       (void);

### Warning

`cogl_clip_pop` has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_framebuffer_pop_clip()` instead

Reverts the clipping region to the state before the last call to `cogl_clip_push()`.
