There are two common algorithms for line clipping: Cohen–Sutherland and Liang–Barsky.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
