How to: Clip a Drawing

This example shows how to define a clip region for a Drawing.

Use a DrawingGroup to define a clip for a Drawing. The DrawingGroup class is the only type of Drawing object that enables you to define your own clip region.

Use a Geometry to describe the clip and apply it to the ClipGeometry property of the DrawingGroup object.

Example

The following example uses a DrawingGroup to apply a ClipGeometry to several GeometryDrawing objects.

The following illustration shows the output that the example produces. The illustration shows the DrawingGroup before and after the elliptical clip is applied.
