There are many variations that can be applied for visual trimming.
They, or all the reliable ones at least, are all based on the same,

Nothing wrong with your brain :-)
It just ain't on the right track yet - floating.
My advice: have another read through the specs...

don't get. Then you'll also have a base that you are somewhat familiar
with, on which we can discuss all the details.
