elevationRange(self) → QgsDoubleRange

Returns the scene’s elevation range

enableClipping(self, clipPlaneEquations: Iterable[QVector4D])

Enables OpenGL clipping based on the planes equations defined in clipPlaneEquations. The number of planes is equal to the size of clipPlaneEquations. A plane equation contains 4 elements. A simple way to define a clip plane equation is to define a normalized normal to the plane and its distance from the origin of the scene. In that case, the first 3 elements are the coordinates of the normal of the plane as (X, Y, Z). They need to be normalized. The last element is the distance of the plane from the origin of the scene. In mathematical terms, a 3d plane can be defined with the equation ax+by+cz+d=0 The normal is (a, b, c) with |a, b, c| = 1 The distance is -d.

By default, OpenGL supports up to 8 additional clipping planes. If clipPlaneEquations contains more than 8 planes, only the first 8 ones will be used. If clipPlaneEquations is empty, the clipping is disabled.
