shearing (AKA clipping)?

Shearing is perhaps AKA clipping if you look after sheep. However, for graphics applications, shearing is the type of transformation which would convert a rectangle to a parallelogram, whereas clipping is an operation which removes the portions of a source object which lie outside the boundary of another object.
