A clipping path is part of the graphics state. The only way to disable a clipping path is to restore

the graphics state. If the graphics state was not saved beforehand it is impossible to deactivate

the clipping region.

If a second clipping path is drawn while another one is still active then it will be intersected

with the current clipping path. The clipping area of the intersected clipping paths is never larger

than the initial clipping path.
