Conditions for point clipping

Short answer

A point P(x,y) is displayed only if xwmin <= x <= xwmax and ywmin <= y <= ywmax. If any inequality fails, the point is outside and clipped.

Write down the condition for point clipping.

A point P(x, y) is inside the clip window, and is displayed only if it satisfies:

xwmin ≤ x ≤ xwmax and ywmin ≤ y ≤ ywmax

If any one of these four inequalities fails, the point lies outside the window and is clipped (discarded).
