- * clutter_stage_get_redraw_clip_bounds:
- * @stage: A #ClutterStage
- * @clip: (out caller-allocates): Return location for the clip bounds
- *
- * Gets the bounds of the current redraw for @stage in stage pixel
- * coordinates. E.g., if only a single actor has queued a redraw then
- * Clutter may redraw the stage with a clip so that it doesn't have to
- * paint every pixel in the stage. This function would then return the
- * bounds of that clip. An application can use this information to
- * avoid some extra work if it knows that some regions of the stage
- * aren't going to be painted. This should only be called while the
- * stage is being painted. If there is no current redraw clip then
- * this function will set @clip to the full extents of the stage.
- *
- * Since: 1.8
