It is just out of curiosity. Why non-rectangular clipping is not supported
by Draw2D's Graphics class when SWT's GC has it with
GC::setClipping(Region rg) ?
Is it just too advanced for GEF user or any other reason ?

See Graphics.setClip(Path path) in the 3.1 release. This allows you to
set a non-rectangular clip. It seems to work for me.

On testing Graphics.setClip(Path path) today across different platforms,
I did find some inconsistent behavior with the Graphics.drawImage and
Graphics.drawPoint methods. Watch my thread posted a few minutes ago to
see if it affects you.

Thanks,
Josh

The reason is that we decided to support things like push, pop, translate,
scale, etc, which seem to conflict with allowing Region to work.

For example, if you call Graphics.translate(10,0), then call
setClipping(Region), how are we supposed to translate the region? We might
be able to fix this in the future by using SWT's new Transform class, but
the solution is pretty ugly.
