DESCRIPTION

This node clips all subsequent shapes in the scene graph to the half-space defined by the plane field. The half-space is the side of the plane in the direction of the plane normal. For example, if the plane is positioned at the origin and the normal is pointing down the positive X axis, everything in the negative X space will be clipped away.

Any number of clipping planes may be active simultaneously, although the graphics library may place a limit on this number during rendering.

FIELDS

SoSFPlane plane

Plane defining half-space.

SoSFBool on

Whether clipping plane is active.

METHODS

SoClipPlane()

Creates a clip plane node with default settings.

static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoRayPickAction

Adds the plane to the current list of clipping planes in the state.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

plane	1 0 0  0
on	TRUE
