Restricting the Drawing Surface in GDI+
Clipping involves restricting drawing to a certain rectangle or region. The following illustration shows the string "Hello" clipped to a heart-shaped region.

Regions can be constructed from paths, and paths can contain the outlines of strings, so you can use outlined text for clipping. The following illustration shows a set of concentric ellipses clipped to the interior of a string of text.
To draw with clipping, create a xref:System.Drawing.Graphics object, set its xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.Clip%2A property, and then call the drawing methods of that same xref:System.Drawing.Graphics object:
