+Add paddings to the input image, and place the original input at the

+It accepts the following options:
+
+@table @option
+@item width, w
+@item height, h
+Specify an expression for the size of the output image with the

+The @var{width} expression can reference the value set by the
+@var{height} expression, and vice versa.
+
+The default value of @var{width} and @var{height} is 0.
+
+@item x
+@item y
+Specify the offsets to place the input image at within the padded area,
+with respect to the top/left border of the output image.

+The default value of @var{x} and @var{y} is 0.
+
+If @var{x} or @var{y} evaluate to a negative number, they'll be changed
