When I am done clipping the java.awt.Graphics object, is it ok to call
Graphics.setClip(null) to remove all previous clipping areas and restore the
Graphics object to its original state?

docs :getClipBounds()
'..... If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been
cleared using setClip(null), ....' would suggest that that's okay.

This assumes that there was previously no clipping set. If there was a
clipping set, then setClip(null) of course doesn't reset the object to
its original state.

You can always save off the previous clip, then use Graphics.setClip()
to put it back after you're done.
