Hi Rik,

You commented that this would be a good idea. I was thinking that a developer might think "setclip" would be like clip which takes a path and a fillRule. ResetClip would just remove the clipping region, much like clearHitRegions removes all hit regions.

What do you think?

There was more discussion since that bug was filed and the current thinking is that resetClip and setClip are not advisable. It's also unclear if they can be implemented on most graphics libraries.
