 *
 *  * The Liang-Barsky line clipping algorithm is an efficient algorithm for
 *  * line clipping against a rectangular window. It is based on the parametric
 *  * equation of a line and checks the intersections of the line with the
 *  * window boundaries. This algorithm calculates the intersection points,
 *  * if any, and returns the clipped line that lies inside the window.
 *  *
 *  * Reference:
 *  * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liang%E2%80%93Barsky_algorithm
 *
 * Clipping window boundaries are defined as (xMin, yMin) and (xMax, yMax).
 * The algorithm computes the clipped line segment if it's partially or
 * fully inside the clipping window.
