NetKernel Foundation API

req=context.createSubRequest("active:imageCrop");
req.addArgument("operand", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
req.addArgument("operator", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

The operator document specifies the crop dimensions. Its syntax is

  <x>100</x>
  <y>100</y>
  <width>50</width>
  <height>50</height>
</imageCrop>

imageCrop accepts and returns an ImageAspect resource which holds a Java AWT bitmap image and can be pipelined into any other image tool.
