#!N This module constructs an object so that it can be 
clipped by a box. Data Explorer renders only the portion of 
the object that lies in this clipping box, which is defined 
by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF (see below). #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is the object 
to be clipped. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF #!EF 
#!I50 #!N defines the clipping box in one of two ways: 
#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N by specifying two 
of its corners with a vector list (of two vectors). The 
module interprets the two vectors as opposite corners of the clipping 
box. #!N #!I30 #!N by using the bounding box of the 
specified object (when  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   corners #!EF itself specifies an object). #!N 
#!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N 
Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. The specified object must be of 
a kind for which a bounding box can be constructed. Otherwise 
an error results. In general, bounding boxes can be constructed for 
all geometric objects, but not for objects such as captions. #!N 
#!I30 #!N 2. All translucent objects in the scene should be 
clipped by the same object. In addition, objects can be clipped 
by only one clipping box or one clipping plane. #!N #!I30 
#!N 3. The effect of ClipBox occurs during rendering, and its 
use does not affect the behavior of modules upstream from the 
renderer. For example, ShowBox will draw a box around the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
unclipped #!EF object. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Components #!N #!N
