Hi,
I try to clip an unstructured grid data with the example code of [ClipUnstructuredGridWithPlane2](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Python/UnstructuredGrid/ClipUnstructuredGridWithPlane2/).
I works.
But the limit is that it can only add one clipPlane because you can only `SetClipFunction` once. So is there another way to add two plane to clip unstructured grid file?
`VtkAbstractMapper` has a function called `AddClippingPlane` can do some similar function.Can I use this?

You can add a second vtkClipDataSet instance that clips the output of the first with the second plane.

You can set vtkPlanes as implicitFunction,which can add multiple planes.
