.. _wx.DCClipper:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.DCClipper**
==========================================================================================================================================

:ref:`wx.DCClipper`  is a helper class for setting a clipping region on a :ref:`wx.DC`  during its lifetime. 
         

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

::

        def MyFunction(dc):

            clip = wx.DCClipper(dc, rect)
            # ... drawing functions here are affected by clipping rect ...


        def OtherFunction():

            dc = wx.DC()
            MyFunction(dc)
            # ... drawing functions here are not affected by clipping rect ...










         



.. note:: 

   Since 3.1.1 :ref:`wx.DCClipper`  restores the previously active clipping region when it is destroyed. Previously it reset clipping on the associated :ref:`wx.DC`  and this has to be taken into account explicitly in previous wxWidgets versions.

.. class:: wx.DCClipper(object)

   **Possible constructors**::

       DCClipper(dc, region) -> None
       
       DCClipper(dc, rect) -> None
       
       DCClipper(dc, x, y, w, h) -> None
       
   
   DCClipper is a helper class for setting a clipping region on a DC
   during its lifetime.



   .. method:: __init__(self, *args, **kw)

      Sets the clipping region to the specified region/coordinates. 
                 

      The clipping region is automatically unset when this object is destroyed.
