All of these provide options that will help you to exclude unrelevant parts (e.g. content). The following options are
available:


* exclude String[]|Object[] (not yet implemented)

exclude frequently changing parts of your screenshot, you can either pass all kinds of different WebdriverIO selector strategies
that queries one or multiple elements or you can define x and y values which stretch a rectangle or polygon

* hide String[]

hides all elements queried by all kinds of different WebdriverIO selector strategies (via opacity: 0)

* remove String[]

removes all elements queried by all kinds of different WebdriverIO selector strategies (via display: none)

#### Mac OS X using Homebrew
`sh
$ brew install graphicsmagick
`

#### Ubuntu using apt-get
`sh
$ sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick
`
