CLIPPOLYGON3DHP clip a 3D polygon with Half-space. usage POLY2 = clipPolygon3dHP(POLY, PLANE) POLY is a [Nx3] array of points, and PLANE is given as : [x0 y0 z0 dx1 dy1 dz1 dx2 dy2 dz2]. The result POLY2 is also an array of 3d points, sometimes smaller than poly, and that can be [0x3] (empty polygon). POLY2 = clipPolygon3dHP(POLY, PT0, NORMAL) uses plane with normal NORMAL and containing point PT0. TODO: not yet implemented There is a problem for non-convex polygons, as they can be clipped in several polygons. Possible solutions: * create another function 'clipConvexPolygon3dPlane' or 'clipConvexPolygon3d', using a simplified algorithm * returns a list of polygons instead of a single polygon, * in the case of one polygon as return decide what to return * and rename this function to 'clipPolygon3d' See also: poygons3d, polyhedra, clipConvexPolygon3dHP --------- author : David Legland INRA - TPV URPOI - BIA IMASTE created the 02/08/2005.
