scissor function

[NeX]

hi there,

the scissor function defines an area on the screen and after that all drawing command happen within that area only. how do i end the scissor function to continue drawing over the entire screen?

must i leave all scissor commands to the end of the program?

thanks

There are a couple of ways of ending the scissor. You can do something like:

GD.ScissorXY(A, B);
GD.ScissorSize(C, D);

// scissored drawing here

GD.ScissorXY(0, 0);
GD.ScissorSize(480, 272);

or a little more elegantly:

GD.SaveContext();

GD.ScissorXY(A, B);
GD.ScissorSize(C, D);

// scissored drawing here

GD.RestoreContext();
