I prefer not to clip, so, I am not concerned about how one
clips.

> Hi All-
>
> We have had a request to change the clipping strategy in the
> IDV box which I'd like your feedback on.
>
> Currently, when you select the View->Clip View At Box menu,
> the top and bottom planes are not clipped. When we first
> added clipping to the IDV, we clipped on all planes of the
> box. However, we ran into the problem that the probe points
> at the top of the box were getting clipped as well.
>
> I'm inclined to go back to the mode that clipping at the box
> means clipping on all sides which is more consistent. If we
> did this, would that impact the way you use the IDV currently?
>
> Clipping on all sides would allow you to show just a small
> slab of a 3D dataset (e.g., only data between 5000 and 7000
> meters). You can always turn off clipping and show all data.
>
> Let us know what you think.
