Do you mean How to Clip to a Geometric Mask? Besides Mask, There is Content Bounds which sets the limit of what is to be drawn to the layer. see ID2D1RenderTarget::PushLayer layerParameters

What I want is exact behavior of overflow: hidden in CSS with Direct2D. "Mask" is probably what I want. Let me check it out

Edit: I guess content bound will work.
