Out of interest, do you know what MS Word uses in this circumstance then? (Rightl clicking on an image in a Word document.)

Trim does have a translation to portuguese. It's [url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aparar#Portuguese]"aparar"[/url]. In this case, the meaning is the same as the non-computer one: "To reduce slightly; to cut; especially, to remove excess." (Because what trimming a sprite does is removing the excess white space that isn't necessary)

Trim is most definitely not American, it comes from English predating America. https://www.etymonline.com/word/trim

Render is also old English. https://www.etymonline.com/word/render

Granted, in the context of computers, their meanings might change - but that doesn't make them American.

Crop means the same of "cut". In portuguese at least. I think "Trim" is American unique word, like "render".

Yeah, that too.

Or "Crop".

What about the word "optimize"? That would probably be really close to the meaning. It's a bit vague but it still hits the target pretty close.

Oh, ok. Thank you!

My understanding is that it means that the engine will treat sprites like this:

As if they were like this:

(Green colour only there to make it clear where the edges of the sprite graphic is. The sprite is inside the green box.)

No. It has to do with the fact GZDoom crops sprites that have excess transparency.

I wonder where you got the idea it was a build-like engine feature as that was never said.

Is it the kind of, be able to make Sprite sheets like in Build Engine?

Image cropping. Shrinks the image boundaries to the image itself and removes all excess empty space in a square.

Excuse me, what is "Trim Sprite" :?:

Done!

This is a lot better because it's less invasive. One thing: To allow people doing it without editing TEXTURES, could you add an option to set this flag through ANIMDEFS? That'd allow it with plain sprites in the S_START/S_END namespace.
