-
- Let the clipping polyhedron be the cube with grand diagonal (0,0,0) to
- (1,1,1). The plane x+y+z=3/2 should intersect all 6 faces, if I've done
- my math right. The intersection polygon is a hexagon. Make your
- clippable polygon a hexagon in that plane with a vertex just outside
- each clip plane, i.e rotated 30 degrees wrt the intersection polygon.
- Clipping the clippable polygon should make a dodecagon.
