# Clipper Polygon Clipping Library, version 6.4.2

The Clipper library performs line & polygon clipping - intersection, union, difference & exclusive-or, and line & polygon offsetting.

Used in the QML plugin of Qt Location and in Qt Positioning.

The sources can be found in qt6-positioning-6.8.3/src/3rdparty/clipper.
