   Purpose:       Removes single-coloured borders from colour images



Description:

With this module  one can remove single-colour borders from colour images 
(at present only with 256-colour pictures). One can choose whether the 
margins on all four sides are to be cut off ('Remove margins!' function) 
or only individual margins (top, bottom, left or right).

If the module sometimes  doesn't produce the desired effect, then it will 
be due to the fact that the margin  is not as uni-coloured as it appears.  
A single pixel of a different colour,  or a margin consisting of two 
similar shades, prevent the module from working. One can reveal such 
circumstances  by experimentally changing the colours with the control 
panel.


The 'Find margin' functions  search for continuous single-coloured lines 
from the picture edges  and if they find them, they then cut them off. For 
this a maximum of one third of the picture-width or -height (from the 
appropriate edge) will be searched through.

By multiple application of both posibilities, most pictures can be freed 
from annoying margins  (and possible  'adornments'  such as mailbox-
logos).


Standard disclaimer:

This module fulfils its objects for me, which does not mean that 
it will do this everywhere. So should one of these modules do
something unexpected, I cannot be held responsible for any sort
of damage caused thereby (whatever it may be) -- you use it at
your own risk.
