Plot to DWF -- Wipeouts won't go from polygon VPs

    Just plotted a bunch of layouts to DWF-6. Most of the wipeouts survived
    ok but not from 2 viewports which are polygonal instead of rect. Can
    this be overcome or must I abandon the special viewports? (LDT4)

    I think this is a bug.
    a. When you have a rectangular viewport, only the geometry that is visible
    gets written to the file. The items that are removed by the wipeout are
    handled properly.
    b. When you have a nonrectangular viewport, all of the geometry is written
    to the file. The viewer handles what to make visible or invisible by using
    the clipping region of the graphics system.
    My guess is that all of the geometry got written to the file, even the parts
    that should have been wiped out, because of the rectangular viewport. I am
    not sure if anyone tests wipeout with a non-rectangular viewport.
