Usage

• Clip[x] gives x clipped to be between and .
• Clip[x, {min, max}] gives x for min x max, min for x < min and max for x > max.
• Clip[x, {min, max}, {, }] gives for x < min and for x > max.

Notes

• Clip[x] is effectively equivalent to Piecewise[{{-1, x < -1}, {+1, x > +1}}, x].

• The

, as well as other arguments of Clip, need not be numbers.

• For exact numeric quantities, Clip internally uses numerical approximations to establish its result. This process can be affected by the setting of the global variable $MaxExtraPrecision.
