Emacs images can be "sliced", meaning they can be composed of "slices".
This concept is important for understanding some manipulations of
images, but it is not explained in the manual. It should be. What is a
slice? how are slices used? when is it important to know whether an
image is sliced? And so on. It's not at all clear what this is all
about.
Separately, we need to add an index entry for "image slice" and/or
"slice, image". Currently (before adding the missing concept
explanation, at least) the target node for this would be `Showing
Images'.

Thanks. I'm not sure from your reply whether you added everything or just the
index entry. I'm guessing the latter, and that that's why you didn't close the
bug. Anyway, thanks for that.

I added both an index entry and an explanation of what the point of
image slices is.
I did close the bug -- don't you get Cc'd on the "close" control
messages? I thought debbugs did that...
