## Constructors

- [AbstractClippingField](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/ctor.md): (2 overloads) Create a new ClippingField instance.

## Properties

- [Type](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/type.md)

## Methods

- [IsInside](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/isinside.md): Gets whether a certain point is inside or outside the clipping region.
- [ScalarAt](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/scalarat.md): Evaluate the field scalar component at a specific point in space. If this is a vector-field, the returned value is *probably* the magnitude of the vector, but this is not guaranteed.
- [Store](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/store.md): Serialisation.
- [VectorAt](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.abstractclippingfield/vectorat.md): Evaluate the field vector component at a specific point in space. If this is a scalar-field, the returned value is *probably* a vector in the form (0,0,scalar), but this is not guaranteed.
