feature {ANY}

	clear
		-- Cleans the active canvas using the current background color. This 
		-- action is interpreted very differently by each driver. Many drivers 
		-- simply draw a rectangle with the current background color. It is NOT 
		-- necessary to call "clear" when the canvas has just been created, as at 
		-- this moment it is already clean. Most file-based drivers do not 
		-- implement this function.
		do
			int_canvas_clear (cnvs);
		end

	flush
		-- Has a different meaning for each driver. It is useful to send 
		-- information to buffered devices and to move to a new page or layer. In 
		-- all cases, the current canvas attributes are preserved.
		do
			int_canvas_flush (cnvs);
		end

	save_state: POINTER
		-- Saves the state of attributes of the active canvas. It does not save 
		-- play callbacks, polygon creation states (begin/vertex/vertex/...), the 
		-- palette,	complex clipping regions and driver internal attributes.
		do
			Result := int_canvas_save_state (cnvs);
		end

	restore_state (state: POINTER)
		-- Restores the attribute state of the active canvas. It can be used 
		-- between canvases of different contexts. It can be used several times 
		-- for the same state. 
		do
			int_canvas_restore_state (cnvs, state);

	release_state (state: POINTER)
		-- Releases the memory allocated by the "save_state" function.
