Hi Bert,

It was dropped because we wanted to do nested clipping instead.
You can now write:
Graphics g2 = g.create();
g2.clipRect(10, 10, 100, 100);
g2.drawLine(...);
g2.dispose();
clipRect is only able to further restrict the clipping area.
If you want to go back to the previous clipping area you have
to create a temporary copy of the gc to draw with.
Have fun,
