I'm trying to use NSBezierPath's clipRect method to help me draw within a rectangle, it works OK, but I can't seem to turn off the clipping path so I can continue drawing as normal.

I've used
[NSBezierPath clipRect:ClipRect];
to create the path, I do my drawing, this works nicely, but then I want to continue drawing outside the clipping path, which I can't figure out how to do.


I've tried wrapping the clipped drawing bit in save/restore graphics state, but no joy.

Can anyone point out a good example of how to turn the clipping path off?

The right way to do it is with the save and restore:

[NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];
[NSBezierPath clipRect: clipRect];

... additional drawing here ...
[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];

... non-clipped drawing here ...

If the save and restore are not working for you then perhaps we should see a larger snippet of your code.

Scott
