ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, system, and method for clipping graphics primitives are described. In one embodiment, a clipping module includes a mapping unit and a clipping engine that is connected to the mapping unit. The mapping unit is configured to map a graphics primitive onto a canonical representation that is defined with respect to a clipping plane. The clipping engine is configured to clip the graphics primitive with respect to the clipping plane based on the canonical representation.
