Specifies a Node to use to define the the clipping shape for this Node. This clipping Node is not a child of this Node in the scene graph sense. Rather, it is used to define the clip for this Node.

For example, you can use an javafx.scene.image.ImageView Node as a mask to represent the Clip. Or you could use one of the geometric shape Nodes such as javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle or javafx.scene.shape.Circle. Or you could use a javafx.scene.text.Text node to represent the Clip.

See the class documentation for Node for scene graph structure restrictions on setting the clip. If these restrictions are violated by a change to the clip variable, the change is ignored and the previous value of the clip variable is restored.

Note that this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SHAPE_CLIP for more information.

There is a known limitation of mixing Clip with a 3D Transform. Clipping is essentially a 2D image operation. The result of a Clip set on a Group node with 3D transformed children will cause its children to be rendered in order without Z-buffering applied between those children.

Returns:  the the clipping shape for this Node
