Implement the Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm to clip polygons. Until now
the Cohen-Sutherland algorithm was use. This algorithm is a line
clipping one and is not meant to clip polygons. Many clipping mistakes
were visible when zooming on TGraphs for instance. Several descriptions
of the Sutherland-Hodgman can be find on the web. A good one is:
