Using PointText as a clipping mask?

[Oliver Beattie]

Hi,

Is it possible to use a `PointText` object as a clipping mask? I can't get it to work as expected, although it seems to be documented that it should work in theory. When I put it in a Group as the first item, and set group.clipped = true, the result I see is the content which should be clipped is not.

Just wondering if I'm missing something obvious, or whether this is at present unsupported?

Thanks,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

This is not supported, you can only use paths for a clipping mask.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks. I've actually already modified Paper.js to support this, so if it's something you'd be interested in including in the core distribution, I'm happy to submit a pull request.
