1. Clipping is a procedure that identifies parts of an image that are inside or outside a specified region, called the clip window. Parts inside the window are displayed, while outside parts are discarded. 2. There are different types of clipping like point, curve, text, and line clipping. Line clipping involves testing if line segments are fully inside/outside the window, and calculating intersections if they cross window boundaries. 3. Popular line clipping algorithms like Cohen-Sutherland and Liang-Barsky assign codes to line endpoints to quickly determine if lines are fully in/out of the window without calculating intersections. They find intersection points to clip lines that cross window edges.
