<h2 align="center">Complex Clipping Regions</h2>

  <p>A complex region can composed of boxes, sectors, chords, polygons and 
  texts. It is implemented only in the Windows GDI, GDI+ and X-Windows base drivers.</p>

  <p>Complex clipping regions can be created using <font><strong>
  cdBegin(</strong></font><b><tt>CD_REGION</tt></b><font><strong>)/(filled 
  primtives)/.../cdEnd()</strong></font>. For more about cdBegin and cdEnd see
  <a href="polygon.html">Polygons</a>.</p>
  <p>Between a <strong><font>cdBegin(</font></strong><b><tt>CD_REGION</tt></b><strong><font>)</font></strong> 
  and a <strong><font>cdEnd()</font></strong>, all calls to
  <font><strong>cdBox</strong></font>, <font>
  <strong>cdSector</strong></font>, <font><strong>cdChord, 
  cdBegin(CD_FILL)/cdVertex(x,y)/.../cdEnd()</strong></font> and
  <font><strong>cdText</strong></font> will be composed in a 
  region for clipping. This is the only exception when you can call a
  <font><strong>cdBegin</strong></font> after another
  <font><strong>cdBegin</strong></font>.</p>
  <p>When you call <font><strong>cdBegin(</strong></font><b><tt>CD_REGION</tt></b><strong><font>)</font></strong> 
  a new empty region will be created. So for the first operation you should use
  <b><tt>CD_UNION</tt></b> or <b><tt>CD_NOTINTERSECT</tt></b> combine modes. 
  When you finished to compose the region call <font><strong>
  cdEnd()</strong></font>.</p>
  <p>To make the region active you must call <strong><font>
  cdClip(</font></strong><b><tt>CD_CLIPREGION</tt></b><strong><font>)</font></strong>. 
  For other clipping regions see <a href="clipping.html">Clipping</a>.</p>
<p>Complex clipping regions are not saved by <strong>cdSaveState</strong>.</p>

<pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">int&nbsp;cdCanvasRegionCombineMode(cdCanvas* canvas, int mode); [in C]</span>

canvas:RegionCombineMode(mode: number) -&gt; (old_mode: number) [in Lua]</pre>

  <p>Changes the way regions are combined when created. Returns the previous 
  status. Values: <b><tt>CD_UNION, CD_INTERSECT, CD_DIFFERENCE or 
  CD_NOTINTERSECT</tt></b>. The value <b><tt>CD_QUERY</tt></b> simply returns 
  the current status. Default value: <b><tt>CD_UNION</tt></b>.</p>

<pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">int&nbsp;cdCanvasIsPointInRegion(cdCanvas* canvas, int x, int y); [in C]</span>

canvas:IsPointInRegion(x, y: number) -&gt; (status: number) [in Lua]</pre>

  <p>Returns a non zero value if the point is contained inside the current 
  region.</p>

<pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">void&nbsp;cdCanvasOffsetRegion(cdCanvas* canvas, int dx, int dy); [in C]</span>
void wdCanvasOffsetRegion(cdCanvas* canvas, double dx, double dy); (WC) [in C]

canvas:OffsetRegion(dx, dy: number) [in Lua]
canvas:wOffsetRegion(dx, dy: number) (WC) [in Lua]</pre>

  <p>Moves the current region by the given offset. In X-Windows, if the region 
  moves to outside the canvas border, the part moved outside will be lost, the 
  region will need to be reconstruted.</p>

<pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">void&nbsp;cdCanvasGetRegionBox(cdCanvas* canvas, int *xmin, int *xmax, int *ymin, int *ymax); [in C]</span>
void wdCanvasGetRegionBox(cdCanvas* canvas, double *xmin, double *xmax, double *ymin, double *ymax); (WC) [in C]

canvas:GetRegionBox() -&gt; (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, status: number) [in Lua]
canvas:wGetRegionBox() -&gt; (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, status: number) (WC) [in Lua]</pre>

  <p>Returns the rectangle of the bounding box of the current region. It is not 
  necessary to provide all return pointers, you can provide only the desired 
  values and <i><tt>NULL</tt></i> for the others.</p>
