There are some tools for clipping in vtk(c++), When i search for the same tools in vtkjs, i find none in the API.  
Are the part of all API that viewing on the web ? and there are not documentation of vtkjs.

Right now, vtk.js only has vtkCutter for polydata cutting and an image cropping filter. There isn’t any general dataset clip filter yet.
