I think you will need to take a different approach. Ignoring calls to draw objects that are outside of the clip box is fairly simple. It might be nice to add that as an option to the SVGGraphics2D but as a general tool I think it's good that the SVGGraphics2D keep everything drawn. If you only draw a few basic types you might be able to fairly easily, either subclass or hack the SVGGraphics2D class to leave objects outside of the clip box out of the output SVG.
