Cyrus Beck Line Clipping Algorithm

Question

Describe the Cyrus Beck Line Clipping Algorithm in brief?

Answer 1

Cyrus Beck Line clipping algorithm is actually, a parametric line clipping algorithm. The word parametric implies that we require finding the value of the parameter in the parametric symbolization of the line segment for the point at which the segment intersects the clipping edge. Hence, the variation in parameter is in fact producing line in point wise way. The range of the parameter values will recognize the part to be clipped by any convex polygonal area containing n-vertices or lattice points to be specified by the user.
