`pdfBeginClipPath`

Nominally: mark the start of a clip-path construction

Category	Clipping
Note	no-op beyond a nil-check (see Remarks)

Purpose — Nominally: mark the start of a clip-path construction sequence.

Description — no-op in this release. The entire implementation is Result := EnsureCurrentContent <> nil — it writes nothing to the content stream and sets no state. Calling pdfMoveTo/pdfLineTo/etc. followed by pdfClipPath works identically whether or not you call this first.

Declarations

BOOL32 __stdcall pdfBeginClipPath(PPDF IPDF);

Delphi

function pdfBeginClipPath(const IPDF: PPDF): LongBool; stdcall; external 'LumasPdf.dll';

Return value — TRUE if a content stream is open; FALSE otherwise — functionally a precondition probe, nothing more.
