NDC Coordinates

Example (and test) for the NDC coordinates. Draws a square that falls partly out of visible range.

  • The scene should show a band from the bottom left to the upper right.

  • The bottom-left (NDC -1 -1) must be green, the upper-right (NDC 1 1) blue.

  • The other corners must be black, cut off at exactly half way: the depth is 0-1.
