glClipPlane函数

1.OGL 一般最多支持6个裁剪平面。glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_CLIP_PLANES, &clipPlanes);

2.裁剪平面是在视图空间中进行计算的，而不是裁剪空间中，和通常的视锥体裁剪，图像裁剪不同；所以如果是正交投影，裁剪平面也是在3D视图坐标系中裁剪。

3.平面的方程为Ax + By + Cz  + （- D）= 0 等于VecP * VecNormal + (-D) = 0,glClipPlane中定义的平面就是：

 GLdouble eqn[4] = {0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0}; A, B, C的定义是VecNormal上的平面，x,y, z却是平面上的点，D是平面上到原点距离的相反数。

4.法向量(A,B,C)指向的方向是平面的正方向，裁剪出来的空间也是法向量指向的空间，多个裁剪平面相互裁剪下是他们裁剪出来的空间的交集。
