Imagick::trimImage — Remove edges from the image

### Description

bool Imagick::trimImage ( float `$fuzz` )

Remove edges that are the background color from the image. This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.2.9 or newer.

### Parameters

`fuzz`

  By default target must match a particular pixel color exactly. However, in many cases two colors may differ by a small amount. The fuzz member of image defines how much tolerance is acceptable to consider two colors as the same. This parameter represents the variation on the quantum range.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success.

### Errors/Exceptions

Throws ImagickException on error.

### Examples

Example #1 Using Imagick::trimImage():

Trim an image, then display to the browser.

`<?php
/* Create the object and read the image in */
$im = new Imagick("image.jpg");
/* Trim the image. */
$im->trimImage(0);
/* Ouput the image */
header("Content-Type: image/" . $im->getImageFormat());
echo $im;
?>`
