User-specified clip shape. This shape is merged with the invalid region to arrive at the actual clip region. Must be specified before StartDrawing.
[Visual Basic .NET] Public Property ClipGeometry As IGeometry
[C#] public IGeometry ClipGeometry {get; set;}
[C++]
HRESULT get_ClipGeometry(
IGeometry** Geometry
);
[C++]
HRESULT put_ClipGeometry(
IGeometry* Geometry
);
[C++]Parameters
Geometry [out, retval]Geometry is a parameter of type IGeometry
Geometry [in]Geometry is a parameter of type IGeometry
Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
Remarks
Use the ClipGeometry property to shape the area data is drawn in. For example, if you had a map of the United States that contained many layers, you could set the ClipGeometry property on the focus Map's ScreenDisplay object equal to the geometry of a particular state thereby telling the map to only draw the data falling within the particular state's area. The ClipGeometry is used to cookie-cut all data before it is drawn.
See IMap::ClipGeometry for a more information and a sample.
