When would a viewport not be rectangular


In terms of web design, Mozilla's MDN defines viewport as follows:

A viewport represents a polygonal (normally rectangular) area in computer graphics that is currently being viewed. (clipped for brevity)

It mentions "normally rectangular" in this definition, which makes me wonder: in what case would an HTML viewport not be rectangular?
