OpenGL Learning 09_ Clipping plane Clipplane

In addition to the 6 clipping planes of the viewing body (left, right, bottom, top, near, and far), additional clipping planes up to 6 can be specified, with further restrictions imposed on the view body.

Each plane is specified by its equation ax + by + Cz + d= 0 factor. The clipping plane performs the appropriate transformations automatically based on the model and the View matrix. The final cropping area will be the intersection of all the half-spaces defined by the scene body and other clipping planes. Remember that OpenGL automatically reconstructs the edges of partially cropped polygons.

Defines a clipping plane. The equation parameter points to a plane equation ax + by + Cz + D = 0 of 4 coefficients. All visual coordinates (XE ye ze We) that meet (A B C D) M-1 (Xe ye ze We) t≥0 are located in the half space defined by this plane, where M is the current model view matrix when calling Glclipplane (). All points that are not in this half-space will be cropped off. The plane parameter is Gl_clip_planei, where I is an integer that indicates which valid clipping plane needs to be defined. The value of I is between 0 and the maximum other clipping plane number minus 1.
We need to enable each of the defined clipping planes:

You can also disable a clipping plane with this function:

All OpenGL implementations must support at least 6 other clipping planes, and some implementations may allow more than 6 other clipping planes. You can call the Glgetintegerv () function with the Gl_max_clip_planes parameter to query the maximum number of other clipping planes supported by the OpenGL implementation that you use.

The clipping performed by calling the Glclipplane () function is done in visual coordinates, rather than in clipping coordinates. If the projection matrix is a singular matrix (that is, the three-dimensional coordinates are flattened to the true projection matrix of the two-dimensional coordinates), this difference is very large. When cropping in visual coordinates, even if the projection matrix is a singular matrix, the cropping is still carried out in three-dimensional space.

The following example cuts a sphere with two clipping planes.
