I'm trying to figure out how to draw a bitmap to the canvas in such a way that only part of it is actually drawn. The part that would be drawn corresponds to pixels of the bitmap that "match up" with pixels of some other shape.
Photoshop and Flash both have masks like this. Specifically, I have rectangular bitmaps that I want to draw as circles. I don't want the corners of the bitmaps to be drawn. The user of the application would then see images appearing as circular images. This would be pretty simple using Flash, but searching "Mask" in the Android API only gives code that modifies each pixel (like a GIMP or Photoshop "filter" would). Or at least that's what it appears to me. How can I apply a circular "cookie-cutter" to a rectangular bitmap so that the corners don't show up? Specific solutions to this problem and general "mask" type solutions are both desired.
