        force_square (False): whether to minimally manipulate the patch

        alpha (None): an optional expansion/contraction to apply to the patch
            before extracting it, in ``[-1, inf)``. If provided, the length and
            width of the box are expanded (or contracted, when ``alpha < 0``)
            by ``(100 * alpha)%``. For example, set ``alpha = 1.1`` to expand
            the box by 10%, and set ``alpha = 0.9`` to contract the box by 10%
    Returns:
        the image patch
