    TIP:
    Setting image margins prevents distortions in the peripheral sections of an image when resizing.
    For example, you implement an image that has a black border. By setting image margins, you can make the black border not react to image size changes.
    • Image left margin
      . Size of the left peripheral section of the image to exclude when resizing the image.
    • Image top margin
      . Size of the top peripheral section of the image to exclude when resizing the image.
    • Image right margin
      . Size of the right peripheral section of the image to exclude when resizing the image.
    • Image bottom margin
