The plane is defined by three points (usually a choice of 3 atoms for convenience). Pymol and (I think) the others only allow you to clip against a plane that is normal to the screen, tied to a single clipping value along Z. That is, you cannot rotate the sliced object to view the same slice from some other angle.
