Hi Alexander,

It would have been nice to explain your strategy and why you chose this over possible
other alternatives.

Can you pllease explain:

What is width correction?

Why do you need it?  That is, what is wrong with the original width that it needs
"correction"?

Why is the original width wrong?

Thank you very much,

Dick
