OK, but programmers do make lots of mistakes. Why don't we see more often say Tigers with their heads cut off, or a frame which is composed of areas of adjacent frames in the base png. Is there some convention or mechanism that means you are only clipping out exactly one frame. Some convention that prevents such errant clipping?

Maybe there are standard frame sizes in all plists? That's what's buggin mean. Seems too easy to clip the wrong area and not get exactly a complete frame. Any idea how that is prevented. I looked at the code, and it seems you have to very precisely specify each clipped area. Puzzling.
