dc.description.abstract	A polygon clipping algorithm is presented for the clipping of closed geographical areas such as dams or forests, against a surrounding rectangular windowframe. The algorithm employs a line clipping procedure which divides the vertices of the clipped polygon into three groups: interior vertices, border vertices and exterior vertices. The vertices on the borders of the windowframe are sorted and stored in a control vector. The control vector determines the sequence in which the clipped vertices are loaded/or plotting purposes.	en
