The vtkCamera object has a front clipping plane and back clipping plane. Users can only see the middle part between the clipping planes.
So we can change the clipping plane's position, clipping range, to get a different 3D scene.



The relevant variable in VTK is double vtkCamera: ClippingRange[2];.



When we zoom in or zoom out, the position of the camera will change, so the object will disappear temporarily.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Move the position of the camera along the view plane normal. Moving
// towards the focal point (e.g., > 1) is a dolly-in, moving away
// from the focal point (e.g., < 1) is a dolly-out.

If we just want to clip the front part of the model, we can set the range:

        double v1 = GetLinearValue( ptr[0], ptr[1], 0.6 );
        double v2 = GetLinearValue( ptr[0], ptr[1], 0 ); // keep farz value
