- The <span class="guimenuitem">Clear</span> command deletes everything
- in the current selection. If there is no current selection,
- the contents of the active layer are removed. If the active
- layer has an alpha channel, the deleted selection is made
- transparent. You can restore the original color to the transparent
- area using the Eraser tool, by setting it to Anti-Erase. If the
- layer does not have an alpha channel, the deleted area is
- filled using the current background color.
- </p>
- <p>
- Clearing a selection does not delete the selection itself. Unlike
- “<span class="quote">Cut</span>”, “<span class="quote">Clear</span>” does not place the deleted
- contents in the Clipboard and the contents of the clipboard are unaffected.
