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

       ClipPlane {
          plane  1 0 0  0
          on     TRUE
     }
