Tim Edwards a816da60f9 Updated the HTML command reference files to refer to magic version 8.3,
since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still
said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

<H2>cutbox</H2>
<HR>
Set a clipping rectangle for the 3D view.
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>cutbox</B> [<B>none</B>|<B>box</B>|<I>llx lly urx ury</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>llx lly urx ury</I> are points of a rectangle in the
coordinate system of <B>magic</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>cutbox</B> command generates a clipping rectangle on the
layout. This is used for two purposes: Limiting the amount of
output to generate for a large layout, and to create vertical
or orthogonal cross-sections of a layout. <P>
<B>cutbox none</B> removes any existing cutbox. <B>cutbox box</B>
creates a cutbox equal to the cursor box boundary. Otherwise,
<B>cutbox</B> is followed by two coordinate pairs representing
the cutbox lower-left and upper-right corners, in <B>magic</B>
(<I>not</I> CIF/GDS) units. <P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>cutbox</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>wind3d</B>
window command in <B>magic</B>. It can only be invoked from
a window created with the <B>specialopen wind3d</B> command,
or the <B>render</B> procedure. Note that the <B>wind3d</B>
window is only available when magic is compiled with the OpenGL
graphics option and invoked with <B>magic -d OGL</B>. <P>
Note that macros of the <B>wind3d</B> window are hard-coded,
and cannot be changed with the <B>macro</B>, <B>gmacro</B>, or
<B>imacro</B> commands. There is no "<TT>:</TT>" macro for
entering commands; to enter commands from the command-line,
use the <A HREF=../tk_path_name.html> <I>tk_path_name</I></A>
command. The default Tk path name of the <B>wind3d</B> window
is "<TT>.magic3d</TT>".
