Description

clip() is supposed to take an argument to specify the clipping rule. Context2D drops this argument on the floor and implements the default clipping rule, I guess.

It can also be given two arguments where one argument is the path. This is also not implemented.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the clip method implementation in Context2D to see how arguments are handled, and implement the missing argument and path support according to MDN docs.
