Function

HarfBuzz-0.0 ▶ HarfBuzz ▶ paint_push_clip_path_start`Since 14.2.0`

paint_push_clip_path_start(
funcs: paint_funcs_t,
paint_data: null,
): [draw_funcs_t, null]
Begin clipping to an arbitrary path. Returns an HarfBuzz.draw_funcs_t owned by the backend (the caller must not free it) that the caller uses to emit the clip outline via hb_draw_() calls, using the returned draw_data as the draw data. The returned draw funcs and draw data are only valid until the matching hb_paint_push_clip_path_end() call; no other paint calls should be made between start and end except hb_draw_() on the returned funcs. Finish the path with hb_paint_push_clip_path_end(); pop the clip later with hb_paint_pop_clip().

Usage:
```
hb_draw_funcs_t *df = hb_paint_push_clip_path_start (pf, pd, &dd);
hb_draw_move_to (df, dd, NULL, ...);
hb_draw_line_to (df, dd, NULL, ...);
...
hb_draw_close_path (df, dd, NULL);
hb_paint_push_clip_path_end (pf, pd);
/&ast; paint ops here are clipped to the emitted path &ast;/
hb_paint_pop_clip (pf, pd);
```
Parameters
- funcs: paint_funcs_t
  paint functions
- paint_data: null
  associated data passed by the caller
Returns [draw_funcs_t, null]
draw funcs that accumulate the clip path, or NULL if the backend does not implement arbitrary-path clipping.
