Could someone tell me if I understand the "clipped_by" function in POV-Ray
correctly? As I see it, if I do something like:
sphere {<0,0,0>,2
clipped_by {box <0,0,0>,<1,1,1>}
will it only display those portions of the 2-radius sphere that fit within
the 1x1x1 box? Or would it display the points of intersection? How does
this differ from "bounded_by?"
Thanks!
Dave!
