Actually, the projected points are all that I am checking, and that’s how it’s supposed to work.

No. The way that conditional lines work is that if the two control points lie on the same side of the conditional line on the screen (in window coordinates), then the conditional line should be drawn. If they lie on opposite sides, the conditional line shouldn’t be drawn. For the purposes of determining this, the actual conditional line is considered to be infinitely long. The Z values are irrelevant for making this determination.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the projection matrix doesn’t produce useful results for points that lie outside the view frustum. But I can’t skip it entirely, because that would leave out the effects of perspective, which are necessary in order to get the right results.

Is there any other way to transform points, without considering the frustum (Well, obviously there is at least one, but it's the long way of calculating the (...)
