# @turf/bbox-clip

# bboxClip

Takes a [Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects) and a bbox and clips the feature to the bbox using [lineclip](https://github.com/mapbox/lineclip).
May result in degenerate edges when clipping Polygons.

**Parameters**

-   `feature` **[Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects)<([LineString](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#linestring) \| [MultiLineString](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#multilinestring) \| [Polygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#polygon) \| [MultiPolygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#multipolygon))>** feature to clip to the bbox
-   `bbox` **[Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array)<[number](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number)>** extent in [minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order

**Examples**

```javascript
var bbox = [0, 0, 10, 10];
var poly = turf.polygon([[[2, 2], [8, 4], [12, 8], [3, 7], [2, 2]]]);

var clipped = turf.bboxClip(poly, bbox);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [bbox, poly, clipped]
```

Returns **[Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects)<([LineString](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#linestring) \| [MultiLineString](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#multilinestring) \| [Polygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#polygon) \| [MultiPolygon](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#multipolygon))>** clipped Feature
