  # Basically what's happening here is I'm trying to get the number of pixels
  # needed to pad the image so it can be chopped into equal 256x256 squares.
  #
  # To do this I first check if the pixel count is already cleanly divisible by
  # 256, and then if it's not, I then try to figure out how much more height I
  # need to add. I do that by first dividing the pixel count by 256 and then
  # adding 1 to it to give me a clean multiple of 256 to work with. Afterwards I
  # I multiply that by 256 to get the ideal height, and then subtract that number
  # by how many pixels I already have so that I get the number of pixels I need
  # to pad it by.
  #
  # After all that is done I divide it by 2 so it can be padded equally on both sides
