As of Crop an inserted image? we can crop images by using something like

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document} % trim from left edge \includegraphics[trim={5cm 0 0 0},clip]{myImage.pdf} \end{document}

in order to crop away the left 5cm of our example image.

In my example it would be really neat if I could use relative crop directions instead of absolute ones (e.g. crop a way 10% from the left, 25% from the top, etc.). Is this possible? And if so: how?

Unfortunately the documentation of the graphicx package is not very verbose when it comes to the trim option (at least as far as I have found).

In case it's relevant: I am looking for an option that works with PDF files included as images.


Note that I found https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/57426/128658 that explains how the effect can be achieved by using a savebox to query the image's dimension first. I am hoping for a solution where this is automated in the background so I don't have to do this every time...
