+ *
+ *  This function sets new boundaries for a canvas. It can be used to crop a
+ *  canvas, to expand it or for combinations of both actions.
+ *
+ *  If an error occurs, -1 is returned and \b errno is set accordingly:
+ *  - \c EBUSY The canvas is in use by a display driver and cannot be resized.
+ *  - \c ENOMEM Not enough memory for the requested canvas size. If this
+ *    happens, the canvas handle becomes invalid and should not be used.
+ *
+ *  \param cv The canvas to crop.
+ *  \param x X coordinate of the top-left corner.
+ *  \param y Y coordinate of the top-left corner.
+ *  \param w The width of the cropped area.
+ *  \param h The height of the cropped area.
+ *  \return 0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.
