Calc::ClipPolygon
Defined in:
Clips a convex polygon against a plane.
C4Computation.h
Prototype
int32 ClipPolygon(int32 vertexCount, const Point3D *vertex, const Plane3D& plane, float *restrict location, Point3D *restrict result);
Parameters
vertexCount |
The number of vertices defining the boundary of the polygon. This must be at least 3. |
vertex |
An array containing the vertices of the polygon, wound in counterclockwise order. |
plane |
The plane against which the polygon is clipped. |
location |
An array large enough to hold vertexCount elements for internal use.
|
result |
An array of points large enough to hold vertexCount + 1 vertices where the clipped polygon is to be returned.

Description
The ClipPolygon
function clips the polygon specified by the vertexCount
and vertex
parameters and clips it against the plane specified by the plane
parameter. Any portion of the polygon that lies on the negative side of the clipping plane is removed, and the resulting polygon is stored in the array pointed to by the result
parameter. The return value of this function is the number of vertices in the clipped polygon. If the polygon is completely clipped away, then the return value is 0.
