16#!N This module constructs an object so that it can be
17clipped by a box. Data Explorer renders only the portion of
18the object that lies in this clipping box, which is defined
19by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF (see below). #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0
20#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is the object
21to be clipped. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF #!EF
22#!I50 #!N defines the clipping box in one of two ways:
23#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N by specifying two
24of its corners with a vector list (of two vectors). The
25module interprets the two vectors as opposite corners of the clipping
26box. #!N #!I30 #!N by using the bounding box of the
27specified object (when  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF itself specifies an object). #!N
28#!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N
29Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. The specified object must be of
30a kind for which a bounding box can be constructed. Otherwise
31an error results. In general, bounding boxes can be constructed for
32all geometric objects, but not for objects such as captions. #!N
33#!I30 #!N 2. All translucent objects in the scene should be
34clipped by the same object. In addition, objects can be clipped
35by only one clipping box or one clipping plane. #!N #!I30
36#!N 3. The effect of ClipBox occurs during rendering, and its
37use does not affect the behavior of modules upstream from the
38renderer. For example, ShowBox will draw a box around the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*
39unclipped #!EF object. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Components #!N #!N
