Think of it as checkpointing the transformation matrix and clip rectangle of your Canvas at a known place in time. This is useful when rendering children views that may leave them in an unknown state. (You can restore back to the checkpointed state when children are done drawing.) Here's an example from ViewGroup:
final int restoreTo = canvas.save(); [perform some drawing that might change the transformation matrix or clip rectangle] canvas.restoreToCount(restoreTo); j On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 3:04 AM, Jiri<[email protected]> wrote: > > Could someone explain to me the canvas.save() and restore().
