 `in_dim` specifies the dimensions of the input data. This is usually automatically computed based on the output of the previous layer or the layer(s) referenced by `in_sequences`. This key allows overriding of the automatically calculated dimensions. `in_dim` must be used when changing from 1D to 2D data or vice versa. 1D dimensions can be specified as a tuple `[L, 1]` or as an integer `L`.
 
-See also: `in_channels`.
+See also: `in_channels`, `in_crop`.
 
 Examples:
         `in_dim: [64, 64]`
         `in_dim: 32`
 
+##### `in_crop` (Optional)
+
+`in_crop` specifies a number of rows (2D) or data bytes (1D) to skip (crop) when using the previous layer's output as input. By also adjusting `in_offset`, this provides the means to crop the top/bottom of an image or the beginning/end of 1D data. The dimensions and offsets are validated to match (minus the crop amount).
+
+See also: `in_dim`, `in_offset`.
+
+Example (1D cropping):
+        `# Output data had L=512`
+        `in_offset: 0x000c  # Skip 3 (x4 processors) at beginning`
+        `in_dim: 506  # Target length = 506`
+        `in_crop: [3, 3]  # Crop 3 at the beginning, 3 at the end`
+
 ##### `in_sequences` (Optional)
 
 By default, a layer’s input is the output of the previous layer. `in_sequences` can be used to point to the output of one or more arbitrary previous layers, for example when processing the same data using two different kernel sizes, or when combining the outputs of several prior layers. `in_sequences` can be specified as a single item (for a single input) or as a list (for multiple inputs). Both layer sequence numbers as well as layer names can be used. As a special case, `-1` or `input` refer to the input data. The `in_offset` and `out_offset` must be set to match the specified sequence.
