+## Clipping and Graphics State
+
+This example demonstrates how to draw an image in a PDF document and apply a clipping region using the [SetClip](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#methods) method. Clipping restricts drawing to a defined area, allowing partial rendering of content. The code also uses [Save](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#methods) and [Restore](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#methods) methods of [PdfGraphics](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html) to manage the graphics state, enabling temporary clipping and restoring the full drawing area afterward.

 ## Applying transparency and rotation to the image
 
 You can add transparency and rotation to the image using [SetTransparency](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfGraphics_SetTransparency_System_Single_) and [RotateTransform](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html#Syncfusion_Pdf_Graphics_PdfGraphics_RotateTransform_System_Single_) methods of [PdfGraphics](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics.PdfGraphics.html) respectively. This is explained in the below code snippet.
