viewClipPlane( [camera] , [autoClipPlane=boolean], [farClipPlane=linear], [nearClipPlane=linear], [surfacesOnly=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
viewClipPlane is undoable, queryable, and NOT
editable.
The viewClipPlane command can be used to query or set a camera's
clip planes. If a camera is not specified, the camera in the active
view will be used. The near and far clip plane flags may be used in
conjunction with the auto clip plane flag.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
autoClipPlane(acp) |
boolean |
  |
|
Compute the clip planes such that all object's in the camera's
viewing frustum will be visible. |
|
surfacesOnly(so) |
boolean |
|
|
This flag is to be used in conjunction with the auto clip plane
flag. Only the bounding boxes of surfaces will be used to compute
the camera's clipping planes. |
|
nearClipPlane(ncp) |
linear |
|
|
Set or query the near clip plane. |
|
farClipPlane(fcp) |
linear |
|
|
Set or query the far clip plane. |
