  Computer Graphics - Clipping   (Site not responding. Last check: )
All primitives are clipped to the boundaries of this clipping rectangle; that is, primitives lying outside the clip rectangle are not drawn.
The brute-force approach to clipping a line that cannot be trivially accepted is to intersect that line with each of the four clip-rectangle edges to see whether any intersection points lie on those edges; if so, the line cuts the clip rectangle and is partially inside.
The input polygon is clipped against one edge and any points that are kept are passed on as input to the next stage of the pipeline.

  Aneurysm Clipping | Mayfield Clinic
Clipping is a surgical procedure performed to treat a balloon-like bulge or weakening of an artery wall known as an aneurysm.
The clip works like a tiny coil-spring clothespin, in which the blades of the clip remain tightly closed until pressure is applied to open the blades.
Because clipping involves the use of anesthesia and surgically entering the skull, patients with other health conditions or who are in poor health may be treated with observation or coiling.

Clipping, Masking and Compositing - SVG 1.1 - 20030114
mask is that clipping paths are hard masks (i.e., the silhouette consists of either fully opaque pixels or fully transparent pixels, with the possible exception of anti-aliasing along the edge of the silhouette) whereas masks consist of an image where each pixel value indicates the degree of transparency vs. opacity.
A clipping path can be thought of as a mask wherein those pixels outside the clipping path are fl with an alpha value of zero and those pixels inside the clipping path are white with an alpha value of one (with the possible exception of anti-aliasing along the edge of the silhouette).

 UnrealWiki: Brush Clipping
Clip or split: the commands are in UnrealEd Main Menu → Brush → Brush Clip and in the 2nd toolbox group.
Clipping this brush will result in a cube that is missing one edge - the top and bottom faces both having five sides, with five other vertical faces in between.
Clipping sometimes either doesnt work at all or clips in the wrong place: this is to do with the brush's current scaling or rotation.

 Proper Wing Clipping
Both wings should be clipped symmetrically to ensure that a bird can glide to the ground and not fall like a ton of bricks (this can result in an injured or split keel, or an injured beak tip that can cause excessive bleeding).
However, when a feather is clipped at the base of the quill, there is no feather there at all for the bird to preen, eliminating the problem entirely.
Wing clipping is a very important part of pet bird care, as it prevents many types of accidents and the escape of a bird by flying away.

 clipping and clamping endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ets) method - hyperhidrosis
Early studies with the clipping method suggest that compensatory sweating associated with ETS appears to be less severe with the clipping method when compared with the cautery or cutting method.
The clip is gradually closed until the adequate amount of force is applied to the nerve and the desired effect is obtained.
This graduated clipping of the nerve is a very precise maneuver that is thought to theoretically decrease the chance of adverse side effects (such as compensatory sweating).

 On-Line Computer Graphics Notes
The algorithm for clipping a single convex polygon against a plane can be utilized to clip a polygon against multiple planes of these regions.
So the problem when clipping in the viewing operation is that the points must remain in projective space, but we must still clip on the image-space cube in three-dimensional space.
A polygon is clipped against each plane in turn, utilizing the output of one clipping operation as the input to the next.

A clipping path is a special object that creates a frame or window on an object.
The popularity of the clipping path effect is also due to the fact that clipping paths are vector objects.
Clipping paths create visually pleasing hard-edged effects which are often used to "cut" photos and illustrations into shape such as circles or curves.

 Dr. Dobb's | Clipping Polygons with Sutherland-Hodgman's Algorithm | April 15, 2003
Clipping is used to limit output to a certain area on the screen, such as in windowing systems where a picture must not be drawn outside its host window's boundaries (Figure 1).
Applying a line clipping algorithm to the perimeter of an area would generate picture B in Figure 2, while the desired result has a closed outline as in picture C in Figure 2.
Clipping edge intersection is detected by XORing the visibility of the current vertex with the visibility of the previous vertex.

 Clipping - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase
Clipping is a phenomenon that occurs in digital audio when the amplitude value of a signal exceeds the maximum level that can be represented by the current bit resolution.
Maximum/Minimum values are considered as "possible clipped samples" by analysis tools, but only one max or min value doesn't mean clipping.
But whether the clipping is truly audible or not is a totally different thing.

 Clipping
Clipping is the exclusion of those primitives, or parts of primitives, which lie outside a specified window or viewport.
That is to say, if clipping to a particular window is enabled, then only those parts of primitives which lie within the boundaries of the window will be displayed.
Clipping at the boundary of the normalization transformation viewport (clipping rectangle) effects the image displayed on ALL workstations.

 Power Amp Clipping Indicator
One of the problems is that short duration clipping is very hard to detect by listening alone, but is still capable of causing damage - especially to tweeters, and it does nothing for the sound quality.
Many clipping detector circuits have been published over the years, but most of them rely solely on an attenuated (reduced) version of the output signal, supplied to a suitable comparator circuit.
The clipping detector shown here relies on one factor - how close to the supply voltage is the amplifier's output signal at any instant in time.

 Viewports and Clipping
In this analogy, the near clipping plane is the window, and the back clipping plane is whatever finally interrupts your view - the skyscraper across the street, the mountains in the distance, or nothing at all.
Direct3D assumes that the viewport clipping volume ranges from -1.0 to 1.0 in X, and from 1.0 to -1.0 in Y. These were the settings used most often by applications in the past.
The device is always capable of clipping TandL vertices in the software vertex processing mode (regardless of whether the device is created in the software vertex processing mode, or switched to the software vertex processing mode).

 Power Amplifier Clipping
What is not shown is the recovery time (after the amplifier stops clipping), where it is understood that a non DC amplifier will produce a subsonic signal that has an equivalent amplitude but opposite polarity of that created when the clipping was present.
When an amplifier clips, it is no longer a linear system for the duration of the clipping, and the feedback circuit is inoperable.
Finally, it must be pointed out that this shows that clipping with real-world (speech or music) signals creates not only the harmonics that have been described in innumerable web pages, but also generates a subsonic signal that is potentially very damaging to drivers, but is never mentioned.

 Should you clip your parrot
Clipping a bird's wings is done mainly for their own safety.
If clipped too drastically, he won't be able to manoeuvre to avoid hitting something dangerous or to break his fall.
It is important to educate our clients so they understand that wing clipping is meant only to eliminate the possibility of upward flight, and that their birds may still retain some ability to fly horizontally, and may even gain lift in the wind.

 Texture Based Clipping Demo
User-defined clipping planes allow the application to define one or more planes, in world space, to which primitives will be clipped.
The demo performs clipping in pixel space, by using a texture as an alpha mask and mapping the texture so that areas to be clipped fall within a transparent region of the texture.
In its simplest form, used for clipping to a single plane, a 2x1 texture is used, consisting of one opaque and one transparent pixel.

 Avoiding clipping: OASYS PCI gain structure   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This clipping may be internal to an individual Effect, or masked by lower gain in other Effects later in the chain, so the clipping may or may not show up on the mixer meters.
The irony is that, right up until that clip point, the louder the signal is, the greater the S/N ratio and thus the better the sound.
In the worst case, with a number of full-scale waves sounding at once, clipping *will* be able to occur, but this can be handled at the programming stage, by reducing internal volume levels.

 Document clipping with annotation
Text clipping is more powerful than clipping with annotation, because you have the capability to make unlimited changes to the document.
With text clipping you use the org.w3c.dom Java bindings (see Resources) to manipulate the DOM or work with the text (String) form of the document.
The clipping state indicates whether the content being processed should be preserved or removed, while providing an easy means of keeping or discarding elements of a document, particularly when you want to act on large chunks at one time.

 Brain Aneurysm Treatments - Clipping As Brain Aneurysm Treatments
Surgical clipping, a microsurgery, is performed by a team of doctors and led by a neurosurgeon.
It is an "open surgery" involving the cutting of the skull, separating the two lobes of the brain and attempting, with a minimum of brain handling, to get at the aneurysm.
A tiny metal spring clip is then placed permanently across the neck of the aneurysm sealing it off from the normal blood circulation in the artery.
