citations needed date November 2011 In linguistics , clipping is the word formation process which consists in the reduction of a word to one of its parts Marchand 1969 . Clipping is also known as truncation or shortening. According to Hans Marchand Marchand 1969 ref name Marchand , clippings are not coined as words belonging to the standard vocabulary of a language. They originate as terms of a special group like schools, army, police, the medical profession, etc., in the intimacy of a milieu where a hint is sufficient to indicate the whole. For example, exam ination , math ematics , and lab oratory originated in school slang spec ulation and tick et credit in stock exchange slang and vet eran and cap tain in army slang. While clipping terms of some influential groups can pass into common usage, becoming part of Standard English, clippings of a socially unimportant class or group will remain group slang.

Clipping is a surgical procedure performed to treat an aneurysm . If the aneurysm is intracranial, a craniotomy is performed, and afterwards an Elgiloy Co Cr Ni Alloy Elgiloy Phynox or titanium Sugita clip is affixed around the aneurysm s neck. Surgical clipping was introduced by Walter Dandy of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1937. It consists of performing a craniotomy , exposing the aneurysm, and closing the base of the aneurysm with a clip chosen specifically for the site. The surgical technique has been modified and improved over the years. Surgical clipping has a lower rate of aneurysm recurrence after treatment. In January 2009, a team of doctors at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina pioneered a new approach for aneurysm treatment clipping aneurysms through an endoscopic endonasal approach. The team was led by UNC neurosurgeon, Dr. Anand Germanwala. This procedure may be groundbreaking for patients with aneurysms near the skull base, as an approach through the nose is less invasive than traditional approaches.

It allows clipping of any number of arbitrarily shaped subject polygons by any number of arbitrarily shaped clip polygons . Unlike the Sutherland Hodgman and Weiler Atherton polygon clipping algorithms, the Vatti algorithm does not restrict the types of polygons that can be used as subjects or clips. Even complex self intersecting polygons, and polygons with holes can be processed. This algorithm is generally applicable only in 2D computergraphics 2D space . Description Clipping is defined as the interaction of subject and clip polygons. While clipping usually involves finding the intersections or regions of overlap of subject and clip polygons, clipping algorithms can also be applied to the other Boolean operations on polygons boolean clipping operations difference , where the clipping polygons remove overlapping regions from the subject union , where clipping returns the regions covered by either subject or clip polygons, and xor , where clipping returns the regions cover by either subject or clip polygons except where they are covered by both subject and clip polygons.

In a typical case, a fragment may be discarded if it is farther away than the pixel that is already at that location according to the depth buffer . If it is nearer than the existing pixel, it may replace what is already there, or, if alpha blending is in use, the pixel s color may be replaced with a mixture of the fragment s color and the pixel s existing color, as in the case of drawing a translucent object.
