layoutGetClipRegion

Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given ranges of text would be drawn. x_origin and y_origin are the top left point to center the layout. index_ranges should contain ranges of bytes in the layout’s text.

Note that the regions returned correspond to logical extents of the text ranges, not ink extents. So the drawn layout may in fact touch areas out of the clip region. The clip region is mainly useful for highlightling parts of text, such as when text is selected.
