The Cyrus–Beck algorithm is a generalized line clipping algorithm. It was designed to be more efficient than the Sutherland–Cohen algorithm which uses repetitive clipping. Cyrus–Beck is a general algorithm and can be used with a convex polygon clipping window unlike Sutherland-Cohen that can be used only on a rectangular clipping area.
