Integer coordinates are passed as 32-bit signed integers to the accelerated rendering functions. For the most part the hardware drawing functions perform any kind of clipping, so it is up to the application to ensure that all coordinates passed to the accelerated rendering functions are within the range of the currently active drawing buffer. The exception to this rule is the ClipMonoImage, StretchBlt and clipped line drawing family of functions.
