Is it possible to create a rectangular area where everything drawn outside of that area is "clipped" so not to draw over the everything else?

Look at SetScissor.

YES! Thank you. I really wish the documentation had a search function. The word "clipped" is right in there and it would have come up.

It's a bit awkward, but you can just use google and specify the site, e.g.: https://www.google.co.nz/#hl=en&q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fblitz-wiki.appspot.com%2F+clipped

That makes sense. I typically use the docs in TED, didn't even think about the web-based Wiki. It would probably be pretty easy to add a Google Search box to the site wouldn't it? Haven't done it before, so not sure.

Sure, it's easy to add a search box to a site. It's pretty easy to add one to an IDE too. Then again it's easy to have working auto-link URL detection and pagination on a forum. Time and priorities, I guess.

Sorry, wasn't trying to make my search box request sound mean or condescending at all, I did not mean to offend anyone.

I did a search and it looks like there may actually be a fee required to use the Google Site Search in some ways:

I don't know if there's another way to accomplish this or not.

No offense taken, I was just giving a crusty developer response as to why a lot of "easy" things are never done. In my opinion the easy thing you start with is a feature request/bug ticket system and maybe a public or semi-public priority list. That often doesn't get done either.

The wiki wouldn't need the enterprise GSS solution, just the free custom search http://www.google.com/cse/.
