Hi there, we need a a simple way to save the current clip path. This should happen without saving the whole graphics context. This feature is required, since we want use the PostScript clipping facility to realize: 1) filling arbitraily shaped objects with hatch styles (avoiding to use the time consuming operator "setscreen", that may define an hatch look alike pattern); 2) local clipping in an composed document (i.e., a document handler provides for some space within which the image represented by the piece of PostScript code is to be imaged but still using clipping locally to build this image (e.g., a frame displaying the graph of a function versus the decoration -axes, legend etc.- around)).
