int CanvasSetClipRect (int panelHandle, int controlID, Rect clipRect);
Sets the clipping rectangle for the canvas control. Canvas drawing operations do not extend beyond the clipping rectangle. Any drawing outside the clipping rectangle is not shown. The exception is CanvasClear, which is not limited to the clipping rectangle.
Changing the clipping rectangle does not affect the current contents of the canvas.
In the initial state for a canvas control, clipping is disabled.
