Remarks

Use the ClipGeometry  property to shape the area data is drawn in.  For example, if you had a map of the United States that contained many layers, you could set the ClipGeometry property on the focus Map's ScreenDisplay object equal to the geometry of a particular state thereby telling the map to only draw the data falling within the particular state's area.  The ClipGeometry is used to cookie-cut all data before it is drawn.

See IMap::ClipGeometry for a more information and a sample.
