- You are right. If the embedding frame is too small, we need to deal with
- that.
-
- However, the whole point of the exercise is that it is an error for the
- user to make the frame smaller than a required area and I want to make sure
- that this error does not occur.
-
- My user pays tens of thousands of dollars for software that corrects this
- particular kind of error later in the process. So it makes sense to force
- him not to make the error in the first place, does it?
