Abstract
A system for displaying graphic images comprising an arrangement for clipping polygons against preselected clipping planes, an arrangement for determining when the vertices of a polygon all lie within one of a number of particular subspaces defined by the clipping planes, and an arrangement for disabling the means for clipping so long as all vertices of a polygon lie in the same subspace.
