Trim Object

Post by mathman »

Hi all,

There is an item in the Objects menu called "Trim Object", for which I could not find documentation. Could someone please elaborate on what this is supposed to do ?

I tried playing around with it with no results whatsoever.

thanks,
Andrew

If you have an object with a transparent background, and the dimensions of the object result in empty space around the visible image, this will crop the object so that there is no excess transparent space. For example, you have a 100 x 100 pixel image which contains an 80 x 80 square, and there is no visible image until, say, the x-y coordinates of 20, 20. Crop will remove the empty space from 0,0 to 19, 19, etc., leaving an object of size 80 x 80.

I hope that made sense...
