The Viewing Pipeline• Window
• A world-coordinate area selected for display.
defines what is to be viewed
• Viewport
• An area on a display device to which a window is mapped.
defines where it is to be displayed
• Viewing transformation
• The mapping of a part of a world-coordinate scene to device coordinates.
• A window could be a rectangle to have any orientation.
Viewing Effects• Zooming effects
• Successively mapping different-sized windows on a fixed-sized viewports.
• Panning effects • Moving a fixed-sized window across the various
objects in a scene.
• Device independent • Viewports are typically defined within the unit s
quare (normalized coordinates)
Viewing Coordinate Reference Frame
• The reference frame for specifying the world-coordinate window.
• Viewing-coordinate origin: P0 = (x0, y0)
• View up vector V: Define the viewing yv direction

Clipping Operations
• Clipping • Identify those portions of a picture that are either
inside or outside of a specified region of space.
• Clip window • The region against which an object is to be clipped.
• The shape of clip window
• Applications of clipping
• World-coordinate clipping
Clipping Operations• Viewport clipping
• It can reduce calculations by allowing concatenation of viewing and geometric transformation matrices.
• Types of clipping • Point clipping • Line clipping • Area (Polygon) clipping • Curve clipping • Text clipping
• Point clipping (Rectangular clip window)
Line Clipping• Possible relationships between line positions
and a standard rectangular clipping region
Before clipping after clipping
Line Clipping• Possible relationships
– Completely inside the clipping window – Completely outside the window – Partially inside the window
• Parametric representation of a line x = x1 + u(x2 - x1)
y = y1 + u(y2 - y1)
• The value of u for an intersection with a rectangle boundary edge – Outside the range 0 to 1 – Within the range from 0 to 1
Cohen-Sutherland Line Clipping• Region code
– A four-digit binary code assigned to every line endpoint in a picture.
– Numbering the bit positions in the region code as 1 through 4
from right to left.
Cohen-Sutherland Line Clipping
• Bit values in the region code • Determined by comparing endpoint coordinates to
the clip boundaries • A value of 1 in any bit position: The point is in that relative
position.
• Determined by the following steps: • Calculate differences between endpoint coordinates
and clipping boundaries.
• Use the resultant sign bit of each difference calculation to set the corresponding bit value.
Cohen-Sutherland Line Clipping
• The possible relationships: • Completely contained within the window
• 0000 for both endpoints.
• Completely outside the window • Logical and the region codes of both endpoints, its result is
not 0000.
• Partially
Liang-Barsky Line Clipping
• Rewrite the line parametric equation as follows:
• Point-clipping conditions:
• Each of these four inequalities can be expressed as:
xuxx 1
yuyy 1 10 u
max1min xwxuxxw
max1min ywyuyyw
kk qup 4,3,2,1k
Liang-Barsky Line Clipping
• Parameters p and q are defined as
xp 1
xp 2
yp 3
yp 4
min11 xwxq
1max2 xxwq
1max4 yywq
min13 ywyq
Liang-Barsky Line Clipping
• pk = 0, parallel to one of the clipping boundary
• qk < 0, outside the boundary
• qk >= 0, inside the parallel clipping boundary
• pk < 0, the line proceeds from outside to the inside
• pk > 0, the line proceeds from inside to outside
Liang-Barsky Line Clipping
• Parameters u1 and u2 that define that part of the line lies within the clip rectangle
• The value of u1 : From outside to inside (pk < 0)
• The value of u2 : From inside to outside (pk > 0)
• If u1 > u2, the line is completely outside the clip window.

Nicholl-Lee-Nicholl Line Clipping• Compared to C-S and L-B algorithms
• NLN algorithm performs fewer comparisons and divisions.
• NLN can only be applied to 2D clipping. • The NLN algorithm
• Clip a line with endpoints P1 and P2
• First determine the position of P1 for the nine possible regions. • Only three regions need be considered • The other regions using a symmetry
transformation
• Next determine the position of P2 relative to P1.
Nicholl-Lee-Nicholl Line Clipping
• To determine the region in which P2 is located – Compare the slope of the line to the slopes of the boundaries of
the clip region.
– Example: P1 is left of the clipping rectangle, P2 is in region LT.
Nonrectangular Clip Windows• Algorithms based on parametric line equations
can be extended • Liang-Barsky method • Modify the algorithm to include the parametric equa
tions for the boundaries of the clip region
• Concave polygon-clipping regions • Split into a set of convex polygons • Apply parametric clipping procedures
• Circle or other curved-boundary clipping regions • Lines can be clipped against the bounding rectangle
Splitting Concave Polygons• Identify a concave polygon
• Calculating the cross product of successive edge vectors.
• If the z component of some cross product is positive while others have a negative, it is concave.
Splitting Concave Polygons• Vector method
– Calculate the edge-vector cross product in a counterclockwise order.
– If any z component turns out to be negative • The polygon is concave.
• Split it along the line of the first edge vector in the cross-product pair.
Splitting Concave Polygons
• Rotational method • Proceeding counterclockwise around the polygon ed
ges.
• Translate each polygon vertex Vk to the coordinate origin.
• Rotate in a clockwise direction so that the next vertex Vk+1 is on the x axis.
• If the next vertex, Vk+2, is below the x axis, the polygon is concave.
• Split the polygon along the x axis.
Sutherland-Hodgeman Polygon Clipping
• Processing the polygon boundary as a whole against each window edge
• Processing all polygon vertices against each clip rectangle boundary in turn
Sutherland-Hodgeman Polygon Clipping
• Pass each pair of adjacent polygon vertices to a window boundary clipper
• There are four cases:
Sutherland-Hodgeman Polygon Clipping
• Intermediate output vertex list • Once all vertices have been processed for one clip
window boundary, it is generated.
• The output list of vertices is clipped against the next window boundary.
• It can be eliminated by a pipeline of clipping routine.
• Convex polygons are correctly clipped.
• If the clipped polygon is concave • Split the concave polygon
Weiler-Atherton Polygon Clipping
• Developed as a method for identifying visible surfaces • It can be applied with arbitrary polygon-clipping
region. • Not always proceeding around polygon edges • Sometimes follows the window boundaries
• For clockwise processing of polygon vertices • For an outside-to-inside pair of vertices, follow the
polygon boundary. • For an inside-to-outside pair of vertices, follow the
window boundary in clockwise direction.
Other Clipping
• Curve clipping • Use bounding rectangle to test for overlap
with a rectangular clip window.
• Text clipping • All-or-none string-clipping
• All-or-none character-clipping
• Clip the components of individual characters
Exterior Clipping• Save the outside region
• Applications • Multiple window systems
• The design of page layouts in advertising or publishing
• Adding labels or design patterns to a picture
• Procedures for clipping objects to the interior of concave polygon windows
