The ClipChildren property of the GraphicsItem class determines whether the child items of this graphics item are clipped to the boundaries of the item. When set to true, any part of a child item that extends beyond the boundaries of the parent item will not be visible. This is useful for ensuring that child items do not draw outside the intended area.
To use the ClipChildren property, simply set it to true or false depending on whether you want the child items to be clipped to the boundaries of the parent item.
For example, if you have a GraphicsItem that acts as a container for other items and you want to ensure that these items do not draw outside the container, set ClipChildren to true.
// Create a new GraphicsItem GraphicsItem parentItem = new GraphicsItem(); // Set ClipChildren to true to clip child items to the parent's boundaries parentItem.ClipChildren = true; // Add child items to the parent item GraphicsItem childItem1 = new GraphicsItem(); GraphicsItem childItem2 = new GraphicsItem(); parentItem.Children.Add(childItem1); parentItem.Children.Add(childItem2); // Now, childItem1 and childItem2 will be clipped to the boundaries of parentItem.
