I have a custom layout manager.
If the Swing container that uses this manager is too small to layout
the children at preferred sizes, I want to clip one or more of them.

I do not want to set the child's size smaller than its desired size.

For example, suppose the child's desired width is 100. I want to
place it at x=250 with width = 100, but I want to clip part of it so
that the first 40 pixels are clipped. The end result will be
that its position is [250,350] but only the child's [60,100] part
is visible ( occupying the region [290,350] ).
