Description
In https://github.com/phetsims/wave-interference/issues/322 we added a WebGL layer to attain reasonable performance, but to avoid complication, we omitted the clip area. This should be restored (not for 1.0).
UPDATE: see in particular this comment https://github.com/phetsims/wave-interference/issues/322#issuecomment-457769739
