SkRegion Reference === Region is a compressed one bit mask. Region describes an aliased clipping area on integer boundaries. Region can also describe an array of integer rectangles. Canvas uses Region to reduce the current clip. Region may be drawn to Canvas; Paint determines if Region is filled or stroked, its Color, and so on. Region may be constructed from IRect array or Path. Diagonal lines and curves in Path become integer rectangle edges. Regions operators compute union, intersection, difference, and so on. Canvas allows only intersection and difference; successive clips can only reduce available Canvas area. ---

SkRegion describes the set of pixels used to clip Canvas. SkRegion is compact, efficiently storing a single integer rectangle, or a run length encoded array of rectangles. SkRegion may reduce the current Canvas_Clip, or may be drawn as one or more integer rectangles. SkRegion iterator returns the scan lines or rectangles contained by it, optionally intersecting a bounding rectangle. ---
