Given that this is not entirely trivial to write correctly, I think it would be reasonable to add the inverse operation for pad() into NumPy. This is generally better than encouraging users to write their own thing. >From a naming perspective, here are some possibilities: unpad trim crop I think "trim" would be pretty descriptive, probably slightly better than "unpad."
