 *
 * Based on the Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm (1974).
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland%E2%80%93Hodgman_algorithm
 *
 * This approache assumes four clip edges (the bounding box).
 * The original algorithm iterated though each clip edge, and then each point. Instead
 * we iterate each point, and then clip edge. This reduces the memory usage. TODO Measure if that is useful!
 *
 * Usage:
 *   require('clip.class.php');
 * 
 *   // Create a cliper with bounds defined by the points (x1, y1)-(x2,y2);
 *   $clip = new SutherlandHodgman($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2);
 * 
 *   // Create array of 2 tuple coordinates
 *   $points = { {x1, y1}, {x2, y2} ... {xN, yN} }'
 *
 *   // Clip! The resulting array will only have points within the bounds
 *   $points = $clip->clip($points);
 *
