Detailed Description

Interface for components that provide clip rectangles.

Implement this interface on any component to have Standard2DRenderer automatically push/pop clip rects during rendering. No pass registration needed.

Implementing the interface is not enough on its own: the renderer discovers it through ComponentInterfaceAdapters, so each component must also register an adapter from its StaticType to this interface. Do that once, from the package's registration path:

#include "ComponentInterfaceAdapters.h"
 
ComponentInterfaceAdapters::Register(
    IClipProvider::InterfaceID,
    MyComponent::StaticType,
    [](DekiComponent* c) -> void* {
        return static_cast<IClipProvider*>(static_cast<MyComponent*>(c));
    });

This block used to show a QueryInterface override calling DekiComponent::QueryInterface(id). DekiComponent has no such method and never has — following the example produced a compile error on the first custom implementation. The adapter registry exists precisely so DekiComponent needs no virtual for this.
