    """
    Maximize (normalize) image contrast. This function calculates a
    histogram of the input image (or mask region), removes ``cutoff`` percent of the
    lightest and darkest pixels from the histogram, and remaps the image
    so that the darkest pixel becomes black (0), and the lightest
    becomes white (255).

    :param image: The image to process.
    :param cutoff: The percent to cut off from the histogram on the low and
                   high ends. Either a tuple of (low, high), or a single
                   number for both.
    :param ignore: The background pixel value (use None for no background).
    :param mask: Histogram used in contrast operation is computed using pixels
                 within the mask. If no mask is given the entire image is used
                 for histogram computation.
    :return: An image.
