ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, system, and method for clipping graphics primitives are described. In one embodiment, a clipping module includes a clipping engine and a clipping controller connected to the clipping engine. The clipping controller is configured to determine which edges of an input graphics primitive intersect a first clipping plane. The clipping controller is configured to direct the clipping engine to clip, with respect to the first clipping plane, a first pair of edges of the input graphics primitive in response to determining that the first pair of edges intersect the first clipping plane.
