// .NAME vtkClipPolyData - clip polygonal data with user-specified implicit function or input scalar data
// .SECTION Description
// vtkClipPolyData is a filter that clips polygonal data using either
// any subclass of vtkImplicitFunction, or the input scalar
// data. Clipping means that it actually "cuts" through the cells of
// the dataset, returning everything inside of the specified implicit
// function (or greater than the scalar value) including "pieces" of
// a cell. (Compare this with vtkExtractGeometry, which pulls out
// entire, uncut cells.) The output of this filter is polygonal data.
//
// To use this filter, you must decide if you will be clipping with an
// implicit function, or whether you will be using the input scalar
// data.  If you want to clip with an implicit function, you must:
// 1) define an implicit function
// 2) set it with the SetClipFunction method
// 3) apply the GenerateClipScalarsOn method
// If a ClipFunction is not specified, or GenerateClipScalars is off
// (the default), then the input's scalar data will be used to clip
// the polydata.
//
// You can also specify a scalar value, which is used to
// decide what is inside and outside of the implicit function. You can
// also reverse the sense of what inside/outside is by setting the
// InsideOut instance variable. (The cutting algorithm proceeds by
// computing an implicit function value or using the input scalar data
// for each point in the dataset. This is compared to the scalar value
// to determine inside/outside.)
//
// This filter can be configured to compute a second output. The
// second output is the polygonal data that is clipped away. Set the
// GenerateClippedData boolean on if you wish to access this output data.

// .SECTION Caveats
// In order to cut all types of cells in polygonal data, vtkClipPolyData
// triangulates some cells, and then cuts the resulting simplices
// (i.e., points, lines, and triangles). This means that the resulting 
// output may consist of different cell types than the input data.
