\section{\class{wxDCClipper}}\label{wxdcclipper}

wxDCClipper is a small helper class for setting a clipping region on a 
\helpref{wxDC}{wxdc} and unsetting it automatically. 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:

\begin{verbatim}
    void MyFunction(wxDC& dc)
    {
        wxDCClipper clip(rect);
        ... drawing functions here are affected by clipping rect ...
    }

    void OtherFunction()
    {
        wxDC dc;
        MyFunction(dc);
        ... drawing functions here are not affected by clipping rect ...
    }
\end{verbatim}

\func{}{wxDCClipper}{\param{wxDC\& }{dc}, \param{const wxRegion\& }{r}}

\func{}{wxDCClipper}{\param{wxDC\& }{dc}, \param{const wxRect\& }{rect}}

\func{}{wxDCClipper}{\param{wxDC\& }{dc}, \param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{int }{w}, \param{int }{h}}

Sets the clipping region to the specified region \arg{r} or rectangle specified
by either a single \arg{rect} parameter or its position (\arg{x} and \arg{y})
and size (\arg{w} ad \arg{h}).

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