 Because, you need to do it when calling ID2D1HwndRenderTarget_DrawBitmap
(not sure it's the right place) using rect_src_clipped. Otherwise the
cropping won't work. Also, it means you can simply declare a picture of
width equals to picture->p[0].i_pitch/4 for the above issue but copy only
the real size.
