   * If the module instance is scrolled off the view, the return value will be
   * (0, 0, 0, 0). This clip rectangle does <i>not</i> take into account page
   * visibility. Therefore, if the module instance is scrolled into view, but
   * the page itself is on a tab that is not visible, the return rectangle will
   * contain the visible rectangle as though the page were visible. Refer to
   * IsPageVisible() and IsVisible() if you want to account for page
   * visibility.
   *
   * Most applications will not need to worry about the clip rectangle. The
   * recommended behavior is to do full updates if the module instance is
   * visible, as determined by IsVisible(), and do no updates if it is not
   * visible.
   *
   * However, if the cost for computing pixels is very high for your
   * application, or the pages you're targeting frequently have very large
   * module instances with small visible portions, you may wish to optimize
   * further. In this case, the clip rectangle will tell you which parts of
   * the module to update.
   *
   * Note that painting of the page and sending of view changed updates
   * happens asynchronously. This means when the user scrolls, for example,
   * it is likely that the previous backing store of the module instance will
   * be used for the first paint, and will be updated later when your
   * application generates new content with the new clip. This may cause
   * flickering at the boundaries when scrolling. If you do choose to do
   * partial updates, you may want to think about what color the invisible
   * portions of your backing store contain (be it transparent or some
   * background color) or to paint a certain region outside the clip to reduce
   * the visual distraction when this happens.
   *
   * @param resource A <code>PP_Resource</code> corresponding to a
   * <code>PPB_View</code> resource.
