NSBezierPath uses the NSCompositeSourceOver operation, therefore clearColor does not do anything. You could change the graphics state in order to clear the path:

   NSGraphicsContext *context;
   context = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext];
   [context saveGraphicsState];
   [context setCompositingOperation:NSCompositeClear];
   [yourBezierPath fill];
   [context restoreGraphicsState];

Thanks for the explanation.

Sadly the setCompositingOperation: is only available on 10.4 and later. I will look for its sibling in CoreGraphic as suggested by Timothy.
