I don't need the WINDING UNKNOWN, since it's redundant with CLIPPING OFF.
When clipping is OFF you don't care the state of the winding.

I put in WINDING UNKNOWN because it explicitly states that the winding is
unknown (and probably bad).  This way, you can effectively disable clipping
for a particular section of (unchecked) code, without having to force
clipping back on at the end of the code.  This is a good thing, because
clipping may have been off before the questionable section.

I am curious, what is CLIPPING -1 ? an UNKNOWN, CLIPPING when not found
is assumed as OFF (the safe side), no UNKNOWN needed either.

CLIPPING ON
CLIPPING 1
CLIPPING -1
CLIPPING YES
CLIPPING TRUE
CLIPPING ENABLED

all mean the same thing.

Isn't a CLIPPING tag redundant? Programs should always clip when drawing an opaque part, and never clip when drawing a transparent part. -Gary (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
