I'm trying to produce a clipping area in a UIView that's generated from path objects in its subviews. For example, I might have one subview containing a square and another containing a circle. I want to be able to produce a clip in the parent superview that's the union of both these shapes. Can someone explain how to do this? About all I've been able to figure out so far is that:
1 - the superview's drawRect: method is called before its subviews' drawRects are, and
2 - the ContextRef that's accessible in all three instances is the same.
Other than that I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Howard
