    """
    Given a list of Tensor :math:`t\_list` , calculate the global norm for the elements of all tensors in 
    :math:`t\_list` , and limit it to ``clip_norm`` .
    
    - If the global norm is greater than ``clip_norm`` , all elements of :math:`t\_list` will be compressed by a ratio.
    
    - If the global norm is less than or equal to ``clip_norm`` , nothing will be done.
    
    The list of Tensor :math:`t\_list` is not passed from this class, but the gradients of all parameters in ``Program`` . If ``need_clip``
    is not None, then only part of gradients can be selected for gradient clipping.
    
    Gradient clip will takes effect after being set in ``optimizer`` , see the document ``optimizer`` 
    (for example: :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_SGDOptimizer`).

    The clipping formula is:

    .. math::

        t\_list[i] = t\_list[i] * \\frac{clip\_norm}{\max(global\_norm, clip\_norm)}

    where:

    .. math::

        global\_norm = \sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}(l2norm(t\_list[i]))^2}

    Args:
        clip_norm (float): The maximum norm value.
        group_name (str, optional): The group name for this clip. Default value is ``default_group``
        need_clip (function, optional): Type: function. This function accepts a ``Parameter`` and returns ``bool`` 
            (True: the gradient of this ``Parameter`` need to be clipped, False: not need). Default: None, 
            and gradients of all parameters in the network will be clipped.
