If you clip, then you will no longer be able to tell the difference between an array wih values at max and min y and an array with y values that exceed the min/max y.

Keeping outside elements visible gives visible feedback for patching errors that cause the outside elements.

Subject: [PD-dev] how to detect if array has changed
Sent: Mon, Dec 27, 2010 4:44:35 PM

Is there anything in the API that offers ability to detect when an array
has been changed and then act upon it? This would be quite useful when
using array as a multislider to change values. If there isn't I am
proposing providing an invisible send from array whenever it is changed
with the name <array_name>_changed. It could also send exactly which
element has changed.

Likewise, for the same reason, I would like to provide clipping of the
drawn items to the visible area but before I do so, is there a reason
one would want to keep outside elements visible as well despite their
distracting appearance?
