I noticed that in dev11 there was cleanup in the

ContextDrawScope

and

clipRRect

was removed from it. What’s the alternative if I want to clip a rect with rounded corners?

@Vinay Gaba

val RRectPath = Path().apply {
            addRRect(RRect(rect = Rect.fromCircle(Offset(100f, 100f), 100f),
                topLeft = Radius(10f, 10f),
                topRight = Radius(10f, 10f),
                bottomLeft = Radius(10f, 10f),
                bottomRight = Radius(10f, 10f)))
        }

        clipPath(RRectPath, ClipOp.intersect) {
            this@draw.drawContent()
        }

I was trying to avoid using Path to do this assuming that there was a better way to do it but maybe not 😅

val shape = RoundedCornerShape(20.dp)
clip(shape)

Here the

clip

is a modifier not a CanvasScope function

amazing this works @Kazemihabib1996! Wondering why what I posted above wasn’t working…

private data class RoundedCornerClipModifier() : DrawModifier {
    override fun ContentDrawScope.draw() {
        val shape = RoundedCornerShape(20.dp)
        clip(shape)
        drawContent()
    }
}

Because

Modifier.clip(shape: Shape)

is a modifier itself and just calling it in

draw

phase does nothing. it just returns an instance of

private data class SimpleDrawLayerModifier(...)

.

which kind of implies that maybe you can drop this custom modifier entirely and use the stock one 🙂

ah got it! This makes sense after understanding the implementation details but not so much from a API surface point of view.

There are a few APIs that we are still working on supporting directly in the declarative API surface. If you find yourself needing something like clipRRect that aren't available, you can always use the drawCanvas call which provides a lambda with a canvas that you can drop into the lower level API.

That’s a fair trade-off! Thanks everyone for your prompt responses 🙏🏼
