I need to clip text (e.g. in a table column). Is this already supported?
No, I haven't done any work on using the clipping operators yet. In
fpReport, text is rather wrapped than clipped.
Contributions in this regard are obviously very welcome. I would imagine
if the clipping operators are to be implemented, then graphics state
(save & restore) would probably go hand-in-hand with the clipping too.
A small remark:
If the PDF format does not support some form of clipping natively, then it
should not go in fpPDF.
But it should instead be implemented in a layer on top of fppdf, such as the
planned TPDFCanvas.
Keep your designs orthogonal, please.
Michael.
