public abstract void clipRect(int x, int y, int width, int height)
Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle. The resulting clipping area is the intersection of the current clipping area and the specified rectangle. If there is no current clipping area, either because the clip has never been set, or the clip has been cleared using setClip(null), the specified rectangle becomes the new clip. This method sets the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility. This method can only be used to make the current clip smaller. To set the current clip larger, use any of the setClip methods. Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.
Parameters:
x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
width - the width of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
height - the height of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
