polygonClip Method
Clip a polygon to the planes of the clip plane set.
- For a convex input polygon, the output polygon is also convex.
- For non-convex input, the output polygon may have double-back edges along plane intersections. This is still a valid clip in a parity sense (overlapping regions cancel).
polygonClip(input: Point3d[] | GrowableXYZArray, output: GrowableXYZArray, work?: GrowableXYZArray, planeToSkip?: ClipPlane, tolerance: numberGeometry.smallMetricDistance): void
@see appendPolygonClip
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | Point3d[] | GrowableXYZArray | polygon, usually convex. Unchanged. |
| output | GrowableXYZArray | output polygon |
| work | GrowableXYZArray | optional work array. |
| planeToSkip | ClipPlane | if this plane is found in the convex set, it is NOT applied. This is useful when caller knows the polygon lies in one of the instance planes. |
| tolerance | number | distance tolerance for "on plane" decision. Default value is smallMetricDistance. |
Returns - void
