macOS NSRectClip

[MrFusion]

Hey,

There is not much info that I can find about NSRectClip.
I have a NSRect given to me by

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect

In this rect, I determine my own NSRect to draw in, which works fine. But after this I want to make extra drawings in the larger "rect". So I am looking for an undo for NSRectClip, or some way to set the drawingarea back to its original area.

Is this possible?

The documentation does appear to be sparse. Have you tried saving the Graphics Context state and restoring it.

So something like:

NSGraphicsContext *context = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext];
[context saveGraphicsState];

// Do your NSRectClip and drawing....

[context restoreGraphicsState];

// Do more drawing

Note I'm on a PC at work so can't test this...


Edit to add: that should work. It is actually in the conceptual documentation!

Thanks, that works.
