## Detailed Description

wxDCClipper is a helper class for setting a clipping region on a wxDC during its lifetime.

An object of wxDCClipper class is typically created on the stack so that it is automatically destroyed when the object goes out of scope. A typical usage example:

void MyFunction(wxDC& dc)
{
wxDCClipper clip(dc, rect);
// ... drawing functions here are affected by clipping rect ...
}
void OtherFunction()
{
wxDC dc;
MyFunction(dc);
// ... drawing functions here are not affected by clipping rect ...
}

Definition: dc.h:1926
wxDC
A wxDC is a "device context" onto which graphics and text can be drawn.
Definition: dc.h:200

Note
  Since 3.1.1 wxDCClipper restores the previously active clipping region when it is destroyed. Previously it reset clipping on the associated wxDC and this has to be taken into account explicitly in previous wxWidgets versions.
