Abstract

Filter effects are a way of processing an element’s rendering before it is displayed in the document. Typically, rendering an element via CSS or SVG can conceptually be described as if the element, including its children, are drawn into a buffer (such as a raster image) and then that buffer is composited into the elements parent. Filters apply an effect before the compositing stage. Examples of such effects are blurring, changing color intensity and warping the image.

Although originally designed for use in SVG, filter effects are a set of operations to apply on an image buffer and therefore can be applied to nearly any presentational environment, including CSS. They are triggered by a style instruction (the filter property). This specification describes filters in a manner that allows them to be used in content styled by CSS, such as HTML and SVG. It also defines a CSS property value function that produces a CSS <image> value.

CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.

1. Introduction

This section is not normative

A filter effect is a graphical operation that is applied to an element as it is drawn into the document. It is an image-based effect, in that it takes zero or more images as input, a number of parameters specific to the effect, and then produces an image as output. The output image is either rendered into the document instead of the original element, used as an input image to another filter effect, or provided as a CSS image value.

A simple example of a filter effect is a “flood”. It takes no image inputs but has a parameter defining a color. The effect produces an output image that is completely filled with the given color. A slightly more complex example is an “inversion” which takes a single image input (typically an image of the element as it would normally be rendered into its parent) and adjusts each pixel such that they have the opposite color values.

Filter effects are exposed with two levels of complexity:

  1. A small set of canned filter functions that are given by name. While not particularly powerful, these are convenient and easily understood and provide a simple approach to achieving common effects, such as blurring. The canned filters can also be animated by [CSS3-ANIMATIONS].

  2. A graph of individual filter effects described in markup that define an overall effect. The graph is agnostic to its input in that the effect can be applied to any content. While such graphs are the combination of effects that may be simple in isolation, the graph as a whole can produce complex effects. An example is given below.

In this example, an image is filtered with the <grayscale()> filter function.
#image {
    filter: grayscale(100%);
}
Example for grayscale filter applied to image

An image without filter (left) and the same filter with a 100% grayscale filter (right).

The following shows an example of graph of individual filter effects.

  1. Filter primitive feGaussianBlur takes input SourceAlpha, which is the alpha channel of the source graphic. The result is stored in a temporary buffer named "blur". Note that "blur" is used as input to both filter primitives 2 and 3.

  2. Filter primitive feOffset takes buffer "blur", shifts the result in a positive direction in both x and y, and creates a new buffer named "offsetBlur". The effect is that of a drop shadow.

  3. Filter primitive feSpecularLighting, uses buffer "blur" as a model of a surface elevation and generates a lighting effect from a single point source. The result is stored in buffer "specOut".

  4. Filter primitive feComposite masks out the result of filter primitive 3 by the original source graphics alpha channel so that the intermediate result is no bigger than the original source graphic.

  5. Filter primitive feComposite composites the result of the specular lighting with the original source graphic.

  6. Filter primitive feMerge composites two layers together. The lower layer consists of the drop shadow result from filter primitive 2. The upper layer consists of the specular lighting result from filter primitive 5.

2. Module interactions

This specification defines a set of CSS properties that affect the visual rendering of elements to which those properties are applied; these effects are applied after elements have been sized and positioned according to the Visual formatting model from [CSS21]. Some values of these properties result in the creation of a containing block, and/or the creation of a stacking context.

The compositing model follows the SVG compositing model [SVG11]: first any filter effect is applied, then any clipping, masking and opacity [CSS3COLOR]. These effects all apply after any other CSS effects such as border [CSS3BG].

Some property and element definitions in this specification require an SVG 1.1 implementation [SVG11]. UAs without support for SVG must not implement the color-interpolation-filters, flood-color, flood-opacity and lighting-color properties as well as the filter element, the feMergeNode element, the transfer function elements and the filter primitive elements.

3. Values

This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions from [CSS21]. Value types not defined in these specifications are defined in CSS Values and Units Module Level 3 [CSS3VAL].

In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions, all properties defined in this specification also accept the inherit keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated explicitly.

4. Terminology

When used in this specification, terms have the meanings assigned in this section.

filter primitive, filter-primitive

The set of elements that control the output of a filter element, particularly: feSpotLight, feBlend, feColorMatrix, feComponentTransfer, feComposite, feConvolveMatrix, feDiffuseLighting, feDisplacementMap, feDropShadow, feFlood, feGaussianBlur, feImage, feMerge, feMorphology, feOffset, feSpecularLighting, feTile, feTurbulence.

pass through filter

The pass through filter output is equal to the primary input of the filter primitive.

5. Graphic filters: the filter property

The description of the filter property is as follows:

Name: filter
Value: none | <filter-value-list>
Initial: none
Applies to: All elements. In SVG, it applies to container elements without the defs element, all graphics elements and the use element.
Inherited: no
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Canonical order: per grammar
Media: visual
Animatable: See prose in Animation of Filters.
<filter-value-list> = [ <filter-function> | <url> ]+
<url>

A filter reference to a filter element. For example url(commonfilters.svg#filter). If the filter references a non-existent object or the referenced object is not a filter element, then the whole filter chain is ignored. No filter is applied to the object.

<filter-function>

See Filter Functions.

none

No filter effect gets applied.

A value other than none for the filter property results in the creation of a containing block for absolute and fixed positioned descendants unless the element it applies to is a document root element in the current browsing context. The list of functions are applied in the order provided.

The first filter function or filter reference in the list takes the element (SourceGraphic) as the input image. Subsequent operations take the output from the previous filter function or filter reference as the input image. filter element reference functions can specify an alternate input, but still uses the previous output as its SourceGraphic.

color-interpolation-filters has no affect for Filter Functions. Filter Functions must operate in the sRGB color space.

A computed value of other than none results in the creation of a stacking context [CSS21] the same way that CSS opacity does. All the elements descendants are rendered together as a group with the filter effect applied to the group as a whole.

The filter property has no effect on the geometry of the target element’s CSS boxes, even though filter can cause painting outside of an element’s border box.

Conceptually, any parts of the drawing are effected by filter operations. This includes any content, background, borders, text decoration, outline and visible scrolling mechanism of the element to which the filter is applied, and those of its descendants. The filter operations are applied in the element’s local coordinate system.

The compositing model follows the SVG compositing model [SVG11]: first any filter effect is applied, then any clipping, masking and opacity. As per SVG, the application of filter has no effect on hit-testing.

The filter property is a presentation attribute for SVG elements.

6. Filter Functions

6.1. Supported Filter Functions

<filter-function> = <blur()> | <brightness()> | <contrast()> | <drop-shadow()> |    
<grayscale()> | <hue-rotate()> | <invert()> | <opacity()> | <sepia()> | <saturate()>

Unless defined otherwise, omitted values default to the initial value for interpolation.

Note: For some filter functions the default value for omitted values differes from their initial value for interpolation. For the convenience of content creators, the default value for omitted values for <grayscale()>, <sepia()> and <invert()> is 1 (apply the effect to 100%) while the initial value for interpolation is 0 (no effect).

blur() = blur( <length>? )

Applies a Gaussian blur to the input image. The passed parameter defines the value of the standard deviation to the Gaussian function. The parameter is specified a CSS length, but does not accept percentage values. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 0px.

The initial value for interpolation is 0px.

Note: Standard deviation is different to box-shadow s blur radius.

brightness() = brightness( <number-percentage>? )

Applies a linear multiplier to input image, making it appear more or less bright. A value of 0% will create an image that is completely black. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed, providing brighter results. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 1.

contrast() = contrast( <number-percentage>? )

Adjusts the contrast of the input. A value of 0% will create an image that is completely gray. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Values of amount over 100% are allowed, providing results with more contrast. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 1.

drop-shadow() = drop-shadow( <color>? && <length>{2,3} )

Applies a drop shadow effect to the input image. A drop shadow is effectively a blurred, offset version of the input image’s alpha mask drawn in a particular color, composited below the image. Values are interpreted as for box-shadow [CSS3BG] but with the optional 3rd <length> value being the standard deviation instead of blur radius. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

The default value for omitted values is missing length values set to 0 and the missing used color is taken from the color property.

The initial value for interpolation is all length values set to 0 and the used color set to transparent.

Note: Spread values or multiple shadows are not accepted for this level of the specification.

Note: Standard deviation is different to box-shadow s blur radius.

grayscale() = grayscale( <number-percentage>? )

Converts the input image to grayscale. The passed parameter defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 100% is completely grayscale. A value of 0% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed but UAs must clamp the values to 1. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 0.

hue-rotate() = hue-rotate( [ <angle> | <zero> ]? )

Applies a hue rotation on the input image. The passed parameter defines the number of degrees around the color circle the input samples will be adjusted. A value of 0deg leaves the input unchanged. Implementations must not normalize this value in order to allow animations beyond 360deg. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

The unit identifier may be omitted if the <angle> is zero.

Default value when omitted is 0deg.

The initial value for interpolation is 0deg.

invert() = invert( <number-percentage>? )

Inverts the samples in the input image. The passed parameter defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 100% is completely inverted. A value of 0% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed but UAs must clamp the values to 1. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 0.

opacity() = opacity( <number-percentage>? )

Applies transparency to the samples in the input image. The passed parameter defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 0% is completely transparent. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. This is equivalent to multiplying the input image samples by amount. Values of amount over 100% are allowed but UAs must clamp the values to 1. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 1.

Note: The opacity filter function is not meant to be a shorthand of the opacity property. Furthermore, it allows setting the transparency of intermediate filter primitive results before passing to the next filter primitive. If the opacity filter function is set as last filter primitive, the value of the opacity property is multiplied on top of the value of the filter function, which may result in a more transparent content.

saturate() = saturate( <number-percentage>? )

Saturates the input image. The passed parameter defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 0% is completely un-saturated. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed, providing super-saturated results. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 1.

sepia() = sepia( <number-percentage>? )

Converts the input image to sepia. The passed parameter defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 100% is completely sepia. A value of 0% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed but UAs must clamp the values to 1. The markup equivalent of this function is given below.

Negative values are not allowed.

Default value when omitted is 1.

The initial value for interpolation is 0.

6.2. Computed Values of Filter Functions

The values in a <filter-function> are computed as specified, with these exceptions:

6.3. Serialization of Filter Functions

To serialize the <filter-function>, serialize as per their individual grammars, in the order the grammars are written in, avoiding <calc()> expressions where possible, serialize filter arguments as specified, avoiding <calc()> transformations, joining space-separated tokens with a single space, and following each serialized comma with a single space.

6.4. Interpolation of Filter Functions

For interpolation of values in <filter-function>s, the steps corresponding to the first matching condition in the following list must be run:

<blur()>

Interpolate values as length by computed value.

<brightness()>
<contrast()>
<grayscale()>
<invert()>
<opacity()>
<saturate()>
<sepia()>

Convert percentage values to numbers with 0% being relative to 0 and 100% relative to 1. Interpolate values as number by computed value .

<hue-rotate()>

Interpolate values as number by computed value.

<drop-shadow()>

Interpolate values as shadow list as repeatable list.

7. SVG Filter Sources: the filter element

Name: filter
Categories: None.
Content model: Any number of the following elements, in any order:
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFilterElement

The description of the filter element follows:

<number-optional-number> = <number> <number>?

Attribute definitions:

filterUnits = "userSpaceOnUse | objectBoundingBox"

See filter region.

primitiveUnits = "userSpaceOnUse | objectBoundingBox"

Specifies the coordinate system for the various length values within the filter primitives and for the attributes that define the filter primitive subregion.

If primitiveUnits is equal to userSpaceOnUse, any length values within the filter definitions represent values in the current local coordinate system in place at the time when the filter element is referenced (i.e., the user coordinate system for the element referencing the filter element via a filter property).

If primitiveUnits is equal to objectBoundingBox, then any length values within the filter definitions represent fractions or percentages of the bounding box on the referencing element (see object bounding box units). Note that if only one number was specified in a <number-optional-number> value this number is expanded out before the primitiveUnits computation takes place.

The initial value for primitiveUnits is userSpaceOnUse.

Animatable: yes.

x = "<length-percentage>"

See filter region.

y = "<length-percentage>"

See filter region.

width = "<length-percentage>"

See filter region.

height = "<length-percentage>"

See filter region.

filterRes = "<number-optional-number>"

The filterRes attribute was removed from the specification. See SVG 1.1 specification for the defintion [SVG11].

Properties inherit into the filter element from its ancestors; properties do not inherit from the element referencing the filter element.

filter elements are never rendered directly; their only usage is as something that can be referenced using the filter property. The display property does not apply to the filter element; thus, filter elements are not directly rendered even if the display property is set to a value other than none, and filter elements are available for referencing even when the display property on the filter element or any of its ancestors is set to none.

8. Filter Region

A filter element can define a filter region on the canvas to which a given filter effect applies and can provide a resolution for any intermediate continuous tone images used to process any raster-based filter primitives. The filter element has the following attributes which work together to define the filter region:

filterUnits

Defines the coordinate system for attributes x, y, width, height.

If filterUnits is equal to userSpaceOnUse, x, y, width, height represent values in the current user coordinate system in place at the time when the filter element is referenced (i.e., the user coordinate system for the element referencing the filter element via a filter property).

If filterUnits is equal to objectBoundingBox, then x, y, width, height represent fractions or percentages of the bounding box on the referencing element (see object bounding box units).

The initial value for filterUnits is objectBoundingBox.

Animatable: yes.

x, y, width, height

These attributes define a rectangular region on the canvas to which this filter applies.

The coordinate system for these attributes depends on the value for attribute filterUnits.

The bounds of this rectangle act as a hard clipping region for each filter primitive included with a given filter element; thus, if the effect of a given filter primitive would extend beyond the bounds of the rectangle (this sometimes happens when using a feGaussianBlur filter primitive with a very large stdDeviation), parts of the effect will get clipped.

The initial value for x and y is -10%.

The initial value for width and height is 120%.

ng of the element which referenced the filter.

Animatable: yes.

Note: Both of the two possible value for filterUnits (i.e., objectBoundingBox and userSpaceOnUse) result in a filter region whose coordinate system has its X-axis and Y-axis each parallel to the X-axis and Y-axis, respectively, of the local coordinate system for the element to which the filter will be applied.

Note: Sometimes implementers can achieve faster performance when the filter region can be mapped directly to device pixels; thus, for best performance on display devices, it is suggested that authors define their region such that the user agent can align the filter region pixel-for-pixel with the background. In particular, for best filter effects performance, avoid rotating or skewing the user coordinate system.

Note: It is often necessary to provide padding space because the filter effect might impact bits slightly outside the tight-fitting bounding box on a given object. For these purposes, it is possible to provide negative percentage values for x, y and percentages values greater than 100% for width, height. This, for example, is why the defaults for the filter region are x="-10%" y="-10%" width="120%" height="120%".

9. Filter primitives

9.1. Overview

This section describes the various filter primitives that can be assembled to achieve a particular filter effect.

Unless otherwise stated, all image filters operate on premultiplied RGBA samples. Some filters like feColorMatrix and feComponentTransfer work more naturally on non-premultiplied data. For the time of the filter operation, all color values must temporarily be transformed to the required color multiplication of the current filter.

Note: All input images are assumed to be in premultiplied RGBA. User agents may optimize performance by using non-premultiplied data buffering.

All raster effect filtering operations take 1 to N input RGBA images, additional attributes as parameters, and produce a single output RGBA image.

The RGBA result from each filter primitive will be clamped into the allowable ranges for colors and opacity values. Thus, for example, the result from a given filter primitive will have any negative color values or opacity values adjusted up to color/opacity of zero.

The color space in which a particular filter primitive performs its operations is determined by the value of the property color-interpolation-filters on the given filter primitive. A different property, color-interpolation determines the color space for other color operations. Because these two properties have different initial values (color-interpolation-filters has an initial value of linearRGB whereas color-interpolation has an initial value of sRGB), in some cases to achieve certain results (e.g., when coordinating gradient interpolation with a filtering operation) it will be necessary to explicitly set color-interpolation to linearRGB or color-interpolation-filters to sRGB on particular elements. Note that the examples below do not explicitly set either color-interpolation or color-interpolation-filters, so the initial values for these properties apply to the examples.

Sometimes filter primitives result in undefined pixels. For example, filter primitive feOffset can shift an image down and to the right, leaving undefined pixels at the top and left. In these cases, the undefined pixels are set to transparent black.

To provide high quality rendering, all filter primitives should operate in a device dependent coordinate space, the operating coordinate space, taking device pixel density, user space transformations and zooming into account. To provide a platform independent alignment, attribute and property values are often relative to a coordinate system described by the primitiveUnits attribute. User agents must scale these relative attributes and properties to the operating coordinate space.

Note: On high resolution devices, attribute and property values that are relative to the primitiveUnits usually need to be scaled up. User agents may reduce the resolution of filter primitives on limited platform resources.

Note: Some attribute or property values from the filter primitives feConvolveMatrix and light sources can not be mapped from the coordinate space defined by the primitiveUnits attribute to the operating coordinate space.

9.2. Common filter primitive attributes

The following filter primitive attributes are available for all filter primitives:

Attribute definitions:

x = "<length-percentage>"

The minimum x coordinate for the subregion which restricts calculation and rendering of the given filter primitive. See filter primitive subregion.

The initial value for x is 0%.

Animatable: yes.

y = "<length-percentage>"

The minimum y coordinate for the subregion which restricts calculation and rendering of the given filter primitive. See filter primitive subregion.

The initial value for y is 0%.

Animatable: yes.

width = "<length-percentage>"

The width of the subregion which restricts calculation and rendering of the given filter primitive. See filter primitive subregion.

A negative or zero value disables the effect of the given filter primitive (i.e., the result is a transparent black image).

The initial value for width is 100%.

Animatable: yes.

height = "<length-percentage>"

The height of the subregion which restricts calculation and rendering of the given filter primitive. See filter primitive subregion.

A negative or zero value must disable the effect of the given filter primitive (i.e., the result is a transparent black image).

The initial value for height is 100%.

Animatable: yes.

result = "<filter-primitive-reference>"

<filter-primitive-reference> is an <custom-ident> [CSS3VAL] and an assigned name for this filter primitive. If supplied, then graphics that result from processing this filter primitive can be referenced by an in attribute on a subsequent filter primitive within the same filter element. If no value is provided, the output will only be available for re-use as the implicit input into the next filter primitive if that filter primitive provides no value for its in attribute.

Most filter primitives take other filter primitives as input. The following attribute is representative for all input attributes to reference other filter primitives:

Attribute definitions:

in = "SourceGraphic | SourceAlpha | BackgroundImage | BackgroundAlpha | FillPaint | StrokePaint | <filter-primitive-reference>"

Identifies input for the given filter primitive. The value can be either one of six keywords or can be a string which matches a previous result attribute value within the same filter element. If no value is provided and this is the first filter primitive, then this filter primitive will use SourceGraphic as its input. If no value is provided and this is a subsequent filter primitive, then this filter primitive will use the result from the previous filter primitive as its input.

If the value for result appears multiple times within a given filter element, then a reference to that result will use the closest preceding filter primitive with the given value for attribute result.

Forward references to results are not allowed, and will be treated as if no result was specified.

References to non-existent results will be treated as if no result was specified.

Definitions for the six keywords:

SourceGraphic

This keyword represents the graphics elements that were the original input into the filter element. For raster effects filter primitives, the graphics elements will be rasterized into an initially clear RGBA raster in image space. Pixels left untouched by the original graphic will be left clear. The image is specified to be rendered in linear RGBA pixels. The alpha channel of this image captures any anti-aliasing specified by SVG. (Since the raster is linear, the alpha channel of this image will represent the exact percent coverage of each pixel.)

SourceAlpha

This keyword represents the graphics elements that were the original input into the filter element. SourceAlpha has all of the same rules as SourceGraphic except that only the alpha channel is used. The input image is an RGBA image consisting of implicitly black color values for the RGB channels, but whose alpha channel is the same as SourceGraphic.

Note: If this option is used, then some implementations might need to rasterize the graphics elements in order to extract the alpha channel.

BackgroundImage

This keyword represents the back drop defined by the current isolation group behind the filter region at the time that the filter element was invoked. See isolation property [COMPOSITING-1].

BackgroundAlpha

Same as BackgroundImage except only the alpha channel is used. See SourceAlpha and the isolation property [COMPOSITING-1].

FillPaint

This keyword represents the value of the fill property on the target element for the filter effect. The FillPaint image has conceptually infinite extent. Frequently this image is opaque everywhere, but it might not be if the "paint" itself has alpha, as in the case of a gradient or pattern which itself includes transparent or semi-transparent parts. If fill references a paint server, then the coordinate space of the paint server is the coordinate space defined for the filtered object. E.g if the paint server requires to use the objectBoundingBox of the object, the object bounding box of the filtered object defines the reference size of the paint server. If the paint server requires to use the userSpaceOnUse, the nearest viewport in the local coordinate system of the filtered object defines the reference size of the paint server.

StrokePaint

This keyword represents the value of the stroke property on the target element for the filter effect. The StrokePaint image has conceptually infinite extent. See FillPaint above for more details.

Animatable: yes.

9.3. Filter primitive tree

Filter primitives with no or one filter primitive input can be linked together to a filter chain. E.g. the filter primitive representation of a <filter-value-list> with two or more <filter-function>s is an example of a filter chain. Every filter primitive takes the result of the previous filter primitive as input.

A simple example of a filter element with its filter primitive children.
<filter id="filter">
  <feColorMatrix type="hueRotate" values="45"/>
  <feOffset dx="10" dy="10"/>
  <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="3"/>
</filter>

feColorMatrix, feOffset and feGaussianBlur create a filter chain.

feColorMatrix takes SourceGraphic as input. The result is the input of feOffset with its result being the input of feGaussianBlur.

Some filter primitives may have more than one filter primitive inputs. With the use of the in and result attributes it is possible to combine multiple filter primitives to a complex filter structure. Due to the non-forward reference restriction of filter primitives, every filter structure can be represented as a tree, the filter primitive tree. The root filter primitive of the filter primitive tree is the most subsequential primitive of filter elements filter primitive children.

A filter chain is one possible filter structure that can also be represented in a filter primitive tree. Therefore, filter chains are referred to as filter primitive trees onwards as well.

A filter element may have one or more filter primitive trees. The filter primitive tree whose subsequent filter primitive is the last filter primitive child of the filter elements is the primary filter primitive tree.

Only the primary filter primitive tree contributes to the filter process. Implementations may chose to ignore all other possible filter primitive trees.

If a filter element has no filter primitive tree then the element the filter applies to does not get rendered.

An example of multiple filter primitive trees:
<filter id="filter">
  <-- The first filter primitive tree. Ignored for filter process. -->
  <feColorMatrix type="hueRotate" values="45"/>
  <feOffset dx="10" dy="10"/>
  <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="3"/>
  <-- The primary filter primitive tree. -->
  <feFlood flood-color="green" result="flood"/>
  <feComposite operator="in" in="SourceAlpha" in2="flood"/>
</filter>

The above filter has 2 filter primitive trees with the filter primitives:

  1. feColorMatrix, feOffset and feGaussianBlur (with feGaussianBlur being the root filter primitive of the tree) as well as

  2. feFlood and feComposite (with feComposite as the root filter primitive of the tree).

Both filter primitive trees are not connected. Only the 2nd, the primary filter primitive tree contributes to the filter process. The first tree can get ignored by implementations.

9.4. Filter primitive subregion

All filter primitives have attributes x, y, width and height which together identify a filter primitive subregion which restricts calculation and rendering of the given filter primitive. The x, y, width and height attributes are defined according to the same rules as other filter primitives coordinate and length attributes and thus represent values in the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element.

x, y, width and height default to the union (i.e., tightest fitting bounding box) of the subregions defined for all referenced nodes. If there are no referenced nodes (e.g., for feImage or feTurbulence), or one or more of the referenced nodes is a standard input (one of SourceGraphic, SourceAlpha, BackgroundImage, BackgroundAlpha, FillPaint or StrokePaint), or for feTile (which is special because its principal function is to replicate the referenced node in X and Y and thereby produce a usually larger result), the default subregion is 0%, 0%, 100%, 100%, where as a special-case the percentages are relative to the dimensions of the filter region, thus making the default filter primitive subregion equal to the filter region.

If the filter primitive subregion has a negative or zero width or height, the effect of the filter primitive is disabled.

The filter region acts as a hard clip clipping rectangle on the filter primitive’s input image(s).

The filter primitive subregion acts as a hard clip clipping rectangle on the filter primitive result.

All intermediate offscreens are defined to not exceed the intersection of the filter primitive subregion with the filter region. The filter region and any of the filter primitive subregions are to be set up such that all offscreens are made big enough to accommodate any pixels which even partly intersect with either the filter region or the filter primitive subregions.

feTile references a previous filter primitive and then stitches the tiles together based on the filter primitive subregion of the referenced filter primitive in order to fill its own filter primitive subregion.

In the example above there are three rectangles that each have a cross and a circle in them. The circle element in each one has a different filter applied, but with the same filter primitive subregion. The filter output should be limited to the filter primitive subregion so you should never see the circles themselves, just the rectangles that make up the filter primitive subregion.

9.5. Filter primitive feBlend

Name: feBlend
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEBlendElement

This filter blends two objects together using commonly used imaging software blending modes. It performs a pixel-wise combination of two input images. (See [COMPOSITING-1].)

Attribute definitions:

mode = "<blend-mode>"

One of the blend modes defined by “Compositing and Blending Level 1” [COMPOSITING-1] with the input in representing the source Cs and the second input in2 representing the backdrop Cb. The output of this filter primitive Cm is the result of blending Cs with Cb.

The initial value for mode is normal.

Animatable: yes.

no-composite = "no-composite"

If the no-composite attribute is present, the specified blend mode must not apply alpha compositing. See Blending [COMPOSITING-1] for the "mixing" formula without compositing. Otherwise, implementations must combine the blend mode specified by mode with the Source Over composite operator. See Blending [COMPOSITING-1] for the "mixing" formula with compositing.

Note: This attribute is an addition to the feBlend element defintion in SVG 1.1. no-composite, when specified, is meant to avoid "double-compositing" effects when blending an input source with the backdrop of the filtered object (E.g. using the BackgroundImage filter primitive). For the majority of use cases authors will not need to specify the no-composite attribute.

Animatable: no.

in2 = "(see in attribute)"

The second input image to the blending operation.

Animatable: yes.

The normal blend mode with alpha compositing is equivalent to operator="over" on the feComposite filter primitive, matches the blending method used by feMerge and matches the simple alpha compositing technique used in SVG for all compositing outside of filter effects.

9.6. Filter primitive feColorMatrix

Name: feColorMatrix
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEColorMatrixElement

This filter applies a matrix transformation:

R ' G ' B ' A ' 1 = a 00 a 01 a 02 a 03 a 04 a 10 a 11 a 12 a 13 a 14 a 20 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 24 a 30 a 31 a 32 a 33 a 34 0 0 0 0 1 R G B A 1 left [ stack {R' # G' # B' # A' # 1} right ] = left [ matrix { a_00 # a_01 # a_02 # a_03 # a_04 ## a_10 # a_11 # a_12 # a_13 # a_14 ## a_20 # a_21 # a_22 # a_23 # a_24 ## a_30 # a_31 # a_32 # a_33 # a_34 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 } right ] cdot left[ stack { R # G # B # A # 1 } right]

on the RGBA color and alpha values of every pixel on the input graphics to produce a result with a new set of RGBA color and alpha values.

The calculations are performed on non-premultiplied color values.

Attribute definitions:

type = "matrix | saturate | hueRotate | luminanceToAlpha"

Indicates the type of matrix operation. The keyword matrix indicates that a full 5x4 matrix of values will be provided. The other keywords represent convenience shortcuts to allow commonly used color operations to be performed without specifying a complete matrix.

The initial value for type is matrix.

Animatable: yes.

values = "list of <number>s"

The contents of values depends on the value of attribute type:

  • For type="matrix", values is a list of 20 matrix values (a00 a01 a02 a03 a04 a10 a11 ... a34), separated by whitespace and/or a comma. For example, the identity matrix could be expressed as:

    type="matrix"
    values="1 0 0 0 0  0 1 0 0 0  0 0 1 0 0  0 0 0 1 0"
  • For type="saturate", values is a single real number value. A saturate operation is equivalent to the following matrix operation:

    R ' G ' B ' A ' 1 = 0.213 + 0.787s 0.715 0.715s 0.072 0.072s 0 0 0.213 0.213s 0.715 + 0.285s 0.072 0.072s 0 0 0.213 0.213s 0.715 0.715s 0.072 + 0.928s 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 R G B A 1 left [ stack {R' # G' # B' # A' # 1} right ] = left [ matrix { 0.213 + 0.787s # 0.715 - 0.715s # 0.072 - 0.072s # 0 # 0 ## 0.213 - 0.213s # 0.715 + 0.285s # 0.072 - 0.072s # 0 # 0 ## 0.213 - 0.213s # 0.715 - 0.715s # 0.072 + 0.928s # 0 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 } right ] cdot left[ stack { R # G # B # A # 1 } right]

    Note: A value of 0 produces a fully desaturated (grayscale) filter result, while a value of 1 passes the filter input image through unchanged. Values outside the 0..1 range under- or oversaturates the filter input image respectively.

    Note: The precision of the luminance coefficients increased in comparison to previous specification texts [Cmam].

  • For type="hueRotate", values is a single one real number value (degrees). A hueRotate operation is equivalent to the following matrix operation:

    R ' G ' B ' A ' 1 = a 00 a 01 a 02 0 0 a 10 a 11 a 12 0 0 a 20 a 21 a 22 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 R G B A 1 left [ stack {R' # G' # B' # A' # 1} right ] = left [ matrix { a_00 # a_01 # a_02 # 0 # 0 ## a_10 # a_11 # a_12 # 0 # 0 ## a_20 # a_21 # a_22 # 0 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 } right ] cdot left[ stack { R # G # B # A # 1 } right]

    where the terms a00, a01, etc. are calculated as follows:

    a 00 a 01 a 02 a 10 a 11 a 12 a 20 a 21 a 22 = + 0.213 + 0.715 + 0.072 + 0.213 + 0.715 + 0.072 + 0.213 + 0.715 + 0.072 + cos ( hueRotate value ) + 0.787 0.715 0.072 0.213 + 0.285 0.072 0.213 0.715 + 0.928 + sin ( hueRotate value ) 0.213 0.715 + 0.928 + 0.143 + 0.140 0.283 0.787 + 0.715 + 0.072 left[ matrix { a_00 # a_01 # a_02 ## a_10 # a_11 # a_12 ## a_20 # a_21 # a_22 } right] = left[ matrix { +0.213 # +0.715 # +0.072 ## +0.213 # +0.715 # +0.072 ## +0.213 # +0.715 # +0.072 } right] + cos(hueRotate value)cdot left[ matrix { +0.787 # -0.715 # -0.072 ## -0.213 # +0.285 # -0.072 ## -0.213 # -0.715 # +0.928 } right] + sin(hueRotate value) cdot left[ matrix { -0.213 # -0.715 # +0.928 ## +0.143 # +0.140 # -0.283 ## -0.787 # +0.715 # +0.072 } right]

    Thus, the upper left term of the hue matrix turns out to be:

    a 00 = 0.2127 + cos ( hueRotate value ) 0.7873 sin ( hueRotate value ) 0.2127 a_00 = 0.2127 + cos(hueRotate value) cdot 0.7873 - sin(hueRotate value) cdot 0.2127
  • For type="luminanceToAlpha", values is not applicable. A luminanceToAlpha operation is equivalent to the following matrix operation:

    R ' G ' B ' A ' 1 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.2126 0.7152 0.0722 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 R G B A 1 left [ stack {R' # G' # B' # A' # 1} right ] = left [ matrix { 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 ## 0.2126 # 0.7152 # 0.0722 # 0 # 0 ## 0 # 0 # 0 # 0 # 1 } right ] cdot left[ stack { R # G # B # A # 1 } right]

The initial value for values

if type="matrix"

defaults to the identity matrix

if type="saturate"

defaults to the value 1

if type="hueRotate"

defaults to the value 0 which results in the identity matrix.

If the number of entries in the values list does not match the required number of entries by the type, the filter primitive acts as a pass through filter.

Animatable: yes.

9.7. Filter primitive feComponentTransfer

Name: feComponentTransfer
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, feFuncR, feFuncG, feFuncB, feFuncA, script elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEComponentTransferElement

This filter primitive performs component-wise remapping of data as follows:

R' = feFuncR( R )G' = feFuncG( G )
B' = feFuncB( B )
A' = feFuncA( A )

for every pixel. It allows operations like brightness adjustment, contrast adjustment, color balance or thresholding.

The calculations are performed on non-premultiplied color values.

The child elements of a feComponentTransfer element specify the transfer functions for the four channels:

The set of feFuncR, feFuncG, feFuncB, feFuncA elements are also called transfer function elements.

The following rules apply to the processing of the feComponentTransfer element:

9.7.1. Transfer function feFuncR

Name: feFuncR
Categories: transfer function element
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEFuncRElement

The attributes below are the transfer function element attributes, which apply to the transfer function elements.

Attribute definitions:

type = "identity | table | discrete | linear | gamma"

Indicates the type of component transfer function. The type of function determines the applicability of the other attributes.

In the following, C is the initial component (e.g., feFuncR), C' is the remapped component; both in the closed interval [0,1].

  • For identity:

    C' = C
  • For table, the function is defined by linear interpolation between values given in the attribute tableValues. The table has n+1 values (i.e., v0 to vn) specifying the start and end values for n evenly sized interpolation regions. Interpolations use the following formula:

    For a value C < 1 find k such that:

    k/n <= C < (k+1)/n

    The result C' is given by:

    C' = vk + (C - k/n)*n * (vk+1 - vk)

    If C = 1 then:

    C' = vn.

  • For discrete, the function is defined by the step function given in the attribute tableValues, which provides a list of n values (i.e., v0 to vn-1) in order to identify a step function consisting of n steps. The step function is defined by the following formula:

    For a value C < 1 find k such that:

    k/n <= C < (k+1)/n

    The result C' is given by:

    C' = vk

    If C = 1 then:

    C' = vn-1.

  • For linear, the function is defined by the following linear equation:

    C' = slope * C + intercept

  • For gamma, the function is defined by the following exponential function:

    C' = amplitude * pow(C, exponent) + offset

The initial value for type is identity.

Animatable: yes.

tableValues = "(list of <number>s)"

When type="table", the list of <number> s v0,v1,...vn, separated by white space and/or a comma, which define the lookup table. An empty list results in an identity transfer function.

If the attribute is not specified, then the effect is as if an empty list were provided.

Animatable: yes.

slope = "<number>"

When type="linear", the slope of the linear function.

The initial value for slope is 1.

Animatable: yes.

intercept = "<number>"

When type="linear", the intercept of the linear function.

The initial value for intercept is 0.

Animatable: yes.

amplitude = "<number>"

When type="gamma", the amplitude of the gamma function.

The initial value for amplitude is 1.

Animatable: yes.

exponent = "<number>"

When type="gamma", the exponent of the gamma function.

The initial value for exponent is 1.

Animatable: yes.

offset = "<number>"

When type="gamma", the offset of the gamma function.

The initial value for offset is 0.

Animatable: yes.

Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFECompositeElement

This filter performs the combination of the two input images pixel-wise in image space using one of the Porter-Duff [PORTERDUFF] compositing operations: over, in, atop, out, xor, lighter [COMPOSITING-1]. Additionally, a component-wise arithmetic operation (with the result clamped between [0..1]) can be applied.

The arithmetic operation is useful for combining the output from the feDiffuseLighting and feSpecularLighting filters with texture data. It is also useful for implementing dissolve. If the arithmetic operation is chosen, each result pixel is computed using the following formula:

result = k1*i1*i2 + k2*i1 + k3*i2 + k4

where:

For this filter primitive, the extent of the resulting image might grow as described in the section that describes the filter primitive subregion.

Attribute definitions:

operator = "over | in | out | atop | xor | lighter | arithmetic"

The compositing operation that is to be performed. All of the operator types except arithmetic match the corresponding operation as described in [COMPOSITING-1] with in representing the source and in2 representing the destination. The arithmetic operator is described above.

The initial value for operator is over.

Animatable: yes.

9.9. Filter primitive feConvolveMatrix

Name: feConvolveMatrix
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEConvolveMatrixElement

feConvolveMatrix applies a matrix convolution filter effect. A convolution combines pixels in the input image with neighboring pixels to produce a resulting image. A wide variety of imaging operations can be achieved through convolutions, including blurring, edge detection, sharpening, embossing and beveling.

A matrix convolution is based on an n-by-m matrix (the convolution kernel) which describes how a given pixel value in the input image is combined with its neighboring pixel values to produce a resulting pixel value. Each result pixel is determined by applying the kernel matrix to the corresponding source pixel and its neighboring pixels. The basic convolution formula which is applied to each color value for a given pixel is:

color X , Y = i = 0 orderY 1 j = 0 orderX 1 source x targetX + j , y targetY + i kernalMatrix orderX j 1, orderY i 1 divisor + bias alpha x , y func color_{X , Y} = { sum from{i=0} to{func orderY -1} sum from{j=0} to{func orderX -1} func source_{x - func targetX + j , y - targetY + i} cdot func kernalMatrix_{func orderX - j - 1, func orderY - i - 1 }} over {func divisor} + func bias cdot func alpha_{x,y}

where "orderX" and "orderY" represent the X and Y values for the order attribute, "targetX" represents the value of the targetX attribute, "targetY" represents the value of the targetY attribute, "kernelMatrix" represents the value of the kernelMatrix attribute, "divisor" represents the value of the divisor attribute, and "bias" represents the value of the bias attribute.

In the above formulas the values in the kernel matrix are applied such that the kernel matrix is rotated 180 degrees relative to the source and destination images in order to match convolution theory as described in many computer graphics textbooks.

To illustrate, suppose you have a input image which is 5 pixels by 5 pixels, whose color values for one of the color channels are as follows:

0 20 40 235 235 100 120 140 235 235 200 220 240 235 235 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 left[ matrix {0 # 20 # 40 # 235 # 235 ## 100 # 120 # 140 # 235 # 235 ## 200 # 220 # 240 # 235 # 235 ## 255 # 255 # 255 # 255 # 255 ## 255 # 255 # 255 # 255 # 255} right]

and you define a 3-by-3 convolution kernel as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 left[ matrix {1 # 2 # 3 ## 4 # 5 # 6 ## 7 # 8 # 9} right]

Let’s focus on the color value at the second row and second column of the image (source pixel value is 120). Assuming the simplest case (where the input image’s pixel grid aligns perfectly with the kernel’s pixel grid) and assuming default values for attributes divisor, targetX and targetY, then resulting color value will be:

resultChannel 2,2 = 9 0 + 8 20 + 7 40 + 6 100 + 5 120 + 4 140 + 3 200 + 2 220 + 1 240 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 func resultChannel_2,2 = {{9 cdot 0} + {8 cdot 20} + {7 cdot 40} + {6 cdot 100} + {5 cdot 120} + {4 cdot 140} + {3 cdot 200} + {2 cdot 220} + {1 cdot 240}} over {9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1}

Because they operate on pixels, matrix convolutions are inherently resolution-dependent. To make feConvolveMatrix produce resolution-independent results, an explicit value should be provided for the attribute kernelUnitLength.

kernelUnitLength, in combination with the other attributes, defines an implicit pixel grid in the filter effects coordinate system (i.e., the coordinate system established by the primitiveUnits attribute). The input image will be temporarily rescaled to match its pixels with kernelUnitLength. The convolution happens on the resampled image. After applying the convolution, the image is resampled back to the original resolution.

When the image must be resampled to match the coordinate system defined by kernelUnitLength prior to convolution, or resampled to match the device coordinate system after convolution, it is recommended that high quality viewers make use of appropriate interpolation techniques, for example bilinear or bicubic. Depending on the speed of the available interpolents, this choice may be affected by the image-rendering property setting. Note that implementations might choose approaches that minimize or eliminate resampling when not necessary to produce proper results, such as when the document is zoomed out such that kernelUnitLength is considerably smaller than a device pixel.

Attribute definitions:

order = "<number-optional-number>"

Indicates the number of cells in each dimension for kernelMatrix. The values provided must be <integer> s greater than zero. Values that are not integers will be truncated, i.e. rounded to the closest integer value towards zero. The first number, <orderX>, indicates the number of columns in the matrix. The second number, <orderY>, indicates the number of rows in the matrix. If <orderY> is not provided, it defaults to <orderX>.

It is recommended that only small values (e.g., 3) be used; higher values may result in very high CPU overhead and usually do not produce results that justify the impact on performance.

The initial value for order is 3.

Animatable: yes.

kernelMatrix = "<list of numbers>"

The list of <number> s that make up the kernel matrix for the convolution. Values are separated by space characters and/or a comma. The number of entries in the list must equal <orderX> times <orderY>.

If the result of orderX * orderY is not equal to the the number of entries in the value list, the filter primitive acts as a pass through filter.

How to behave on invalid number of entries in the value list? <https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/237>

Animatable: yes.

divisor = "<number>"

After applying the kernelMatrix to the input image to yield a number, that number is divided by divisor to yield the final destination color value. A divisor that is the sum of all the matrix values tends to have an evening effect on the overall color intensity of the result. If the specified divisor is 0 then the default value will be used instead.

The initial value is the sum of all values in kernelMatrix, with the exception that if the sum is zero, then the divisor is set to 1.

Animatable: yes.

bias = "<number>"

After applying the kernelMatrix to the input image to yield a number and applying the divisor, the bias attribute is added to each component. One application of bias is when it is desirable to have .5 gray value be the zero response of the filter. The bias property shifts the range of the filter. This allows representation of values that would otherwise be clamped to 0 or 1.

The initial value for bias is 0.

Animatable: yes.

targetX = "<integer>"

Determines the positioning in X of the convolution matrix relative to a given target pixel in the input image. The leftmost column of the matrix is column number zero. The value must be such that: 0 <= targetX < orderX. By default, the convolution matrix is centered in X over each pixel of the input image (i.e., targetX = floor ( orderX / 2 )).

Animatable: yes.

targetY = "<integer>"

Determines the positioning in Y of the convolution matrix relative to a given target pixel in the input image. The topmost row of the matrix is row number zero. The value must be such that: 0 <= targetY < orderY. By default, the convolution matrix is centered in Y over each pixel of the input image (i.e., targetY = floor ( orderY / 2 )).

Animatable: yes.

edgeMode = "duplicate | wrap | none"

Determines how to extend the input image as necessary with color values so that the matrix operations can be applied when the kernel is positioned at or near the edge of the input image.

duplicate indicates that the input image is extended along each of its borders as necessary by duplicating the color values at the given edge of the input image.

Original N-by-M image, where m=M-1 and n=N-1:

11 12 . . . 1 m 1 M 21 22 . . . 2 m 2 M . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . n 1 n 2 . . . nm nM N 1 N 2 . . . Nm NM left[ matrix {11 # 12 # { "." "." "."} # {1 m} # {1 M} ## 21 # 22 # { "." "."

The value none indicates that the input image is extended with pixel values of zero for R, G, B and A.

The initial value for edgeMode is duplicate.

Animatable: yes.

kernelUnitLength = "<number-optional-number>"

The first number is the <dx> value. The second number is the <dy> value. If the <dy> value is not specified, it defaults to the same value as <dx>. Indicates the intended distance in current filter units (i.e., units as determined by the value of attribute primitiveUnits) between successive columns and rows, respectively, in the kernelMatrix. By specifying value(s) for kernelUnitLength, the kernel becomes defined in a scalable, abstract coordinate system. If kernelUnitLength is not specified, the default value is one pixel in the offscreen bitmap, which is a pixel-based coordinate system, and thus potentially not scalable. For some level of consistency across display media and user agents, it is necessary that a value be provided for kernelUnitLength. In some implementations, the most consistent results and the fastest performance will be achieved if the pixel grid of the temporary off-screen images aligns with the pixel grid of the kernel.

If a negative or zero value is specified the default value will be used instead.

Note: This attribute is deprecated and will be removed. It does not provide a reliable way to create platform independent results. Future versions of this specification will cover this use case.

Animatable: yes.

preserveAlpha = "false | true"

A value of false indicates that the convolution will apply to all channels, including the alpha channel. In this case the ALPHAX,Y of the convolution formula for a given pixel is:

ALPHAX,Y = ( 
              SUM I=0 to [orderY-1] { 
                SUM J=0 to [orderX-1] { 
                  SOURCE X-targetX+J, Y-targetY+I *  kernelMatrixorderX-J-1,  orderY-I-1 
                } 
              } 
            ) /  divisor +  bias 

A value of "true" indicates that the convolution will only apply to the color channels. In this case, the filter will temporarily unpremultiply the color component values and apply the kernel. In this case the ALPHAX,Y of the convolution formula for a given pixel is:

ALPHAX,Y = SOURCEX,Y

The initial value for preserveAlpha is false.

Animatable: yes.

9.10. Filter primitive feDiffuseLighting

Name: feDiffuseLighting
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, script and exactly one light sources element, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEDiffuseLightingElement

This filter primitive lights an image using the alpha channel as a bump map. The resulting image is an RGBA opaque image based on the light color with alpha = 1.0 everywhere. The lighting calculation follows the standard diffuse component of the Phong lighting model. The resulting image depends on the light color, light position and surface geometry of the input bump map.

The light map produced by this filter primitive can be combined with a texture image using the multiply term of the arithmetic feComposite compositing method. Multiple light sources can be simulated by adding several of these light maps together before applying it to the texture image.

The formulas below make use of 3x3 filters. Because they operate on pixels, such filters are inherently resolution-dependent. To make feDiffuseLighting produce resolution-independent results, an explicit value should be provided for the attribute kernelUnitLength.

kernelUnitLength, in combination with the other attributes, defines an implicit pixel grid in the filter effects coordinate system (i.e., the coordinate system established by the primitiveUnits attribute). The input image will be temporarily rescaled to match its pixels with kernelUnitLength. The 3x3 filters are applied to the resampled image. After applying the filter, the image is resampled back to its original resolution.

Note: Depending on the speed of the available interpolates, this choice may be affected by the image-rendering property setting.

Note: Implementations might choose approaches that minimize or eliminate resampling when not necessary to produce proper results, such as when the document is zoomed out such that kernelUnitLength is considerably smaller than a device pixel.

For the formulas that follow, the Norm(Ax,Ay,Az) function is defined as:

Norm ( A x , A y , A z ) = A x 2 + A y 2 + A z 2 Norm(A_x,A_y,A_z) = sqrt { A_x^2+A_y^2+A_z^2}

Note: User agents may use the the "fast inverse square root" to optimize the equation and avoid time differences on extrema color values. See Privacy and Security Considerations section for more details about timing attacks.

The resulting RGBA image is computed as follows:

Dr = kd * N.L * Lr
Dg = kd * N.L * Lg
Db = kd * N.L * Lb
Da = 1.0

where

kd = diffuse lighting constant
N = surface normal unit vector, a function of x and y
L = unit vector pointing from surface to light, a function of x and y in the point and spot light cases
Lr,Lg,Lb = RGB components of light, a function of x and y in the spot light case

N is a function of x and y and depends on the surface gradient as follows:

The surface described by the input alpha image I(x,y) is:

Z (x,y) = surfaceScale * I(x,y)

Surface normal is calculated using the Sobel gradient 3x3 filter. Different filter kernels are used depending on whether the given pixel is on the interior or an edge. For each case, the formula is:

Nx (x,y) = - surfaceScale * FACTORx *
           (Kx(0,0)*I(x-dx,y-dy) + Kx(1,0)*I(x,y-dy) + Kx(2,0)*I(x+dx,y-dy) +
            Kx(0,1)*I(x-dx,y)    + Kx(1,1)*I(x,y)    + Kx(2,1)*I(x+dx,y)    +
            Kx(0,2)*I(x-dx,y+dy) + Kx(1,2)*I(x,y+dy) + Kx(2,2)*I(x+dx,y+dy))
Ny (x,y) = - surfaceScale * FACTORy *
           (Ky(0,0)*I(x-dx,y-dy) + Ky(1,0)*I(x,y-dy) + Ky(2,0)*I(x+dx,y-dy) +
            Ky(0,1)*I(x-dx,y)    + Ky(1,1)*I(x,y)    + Ky(2,1)*I(x+dx,y)    +
            Ky(0,2)*I(x-dx,y+dy) + Ky(1,2)*I(x,y+dy) + Ky(2,2)*I(x+dx,y+dy))
Nz (x,y) = 1.0

N = (Nx, Ny, Nz) / Norm((Nx,Ny,Nz))

In these formulas, the dx and dy values (e.g., I(x-dx,y-dy)), represent deltas relative to a given (x,y) position for the purpose of estimating the slope of the surface at that point. These deltas are determined by the value (explicit or implicit) of attribute kernelUnitLength.

L, the unit vector from the image sample to the light, is calculated as follows:

For Infinite light sources it is constant:

Lx = cos(azimuth)*cos(elevation)
Ly = sin(azimuth)*cos(elevation)
Lz = sin(elevation)

For Point and spot lights it is a function of position:

Lx = Lightx - x
Ly = Lighty - y
Lz = Lightz - Z(x,y)

L = (Lx, Ly, Lz) / Norm(Lx, Ly, Lz)

where Lightx, Lighty, and Lightz are the input light position.

Lr,Lg,Lb, the light color vector, is a function of position in the spot light case only:

Lr = Lightr*pow((-L.S),specularExponent)
Lg = Lightg*pow((-L.S),specularExponent)
Lb = Lightb*pow((-L.S),specularExponent)

where S is the unit vector pointing from the light to the point (pointsAtX, pointsAtY, pointsAtZ) in the x-y plane:

Sx = pointsAtX - Lightx
Sy = pointsAtY - Lighty
Sz = pointsAtZ - Lightz

S = (Sx, Sy, Sz) / Norm(Sx, Sy, Sz)

If L.S is positive, no light is present. (Lr = Lg = Lb = 0). If limitingConeAngle is specified, -L.S < cos(limitingConeAngle) also indicates that no light is present.

Attribute definitions:

surfaceScale = "<number>"

height of surface when Ain = 1.

If the attribute is not specified, then the effect is as if a value of 1 were specified.

Animatable: yes.

diffuseConstant = "<number>"

kd in Phong lighting model. In SVG, this can be any non-negative number.

If the attribute is not specified, then the effect is as if a value of 1 were specified.

Animatable: yes.

kernelUnitLength = "<number-optional-number>"

The first number is the <dx> value. The second number is the <dy> value. If the <dy> value is not specified, it defaults to the same value as <dx>. Indicates the intended distance in current filter units (i.e., units as determined by the value of attribute primitiveUnits) for dx and dy, respectively, in the surface normal calculation formulas. By specifying value(s) for kernelUnitLength, the kernel becomes defined in a scalable, abstract coordinate system. If kernelUnitLength is not specified, the dx and dy values should represent very small deltas relative to a given (x,y) position, which might be implemented in some cases as one pixel in the intermediate image offscreen bitmap, which is a pixel-based coordinate system, and thus potentially not scalable. For some level of consistency across display media and user agents, it is necessary that a value be provided for kernelUnitLength.

If a negative or zero value is specified the default value will be used instead.

Note: This attribute is deprecated and will be removed. It does not provide a reliable way to create platform independent results. Future versions of this specification will cover this use case.

Animatable: yes.

The light source is defined by one of the child elements feDistantLight, fePointLight or feSpotLight. The light color is specified by property lighting-color.

9.11. Filter primitive feDisplacementMap

Name: feDisplacementMap
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEDisplacementMapElement

Implementations do not match specification. <https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/113>

This filter primitive uses the pixels values from the image from in2 to spatially displace the image from in. This is the transformation to be performed:

P'(x,y) ← P( x + scale * (XC(x,y) - .5), y + scale * (YC(x,y) - .5))

where P(x,y) is the input image, in, and P'(x,y) is the destination. XC(x,y) and YC(x,y) are the component values of the channel designated by the xChannelSelector and yChannelSelector. For example, to use the R component of in2 to control displacement in x and the G component of Image2 to control displacement in y, set xChannelSelector to "R" and yChannelSelector to "G".

The displacement map, in2, defines the inverse of the mapping performed.

The input image in is to remain premultiplied for this filter primitive. The calculations using the pixel values from in2 are performed using non-premultiplied color values.

This filter can have arbitrary non-localized effect on the input which might require substantial buffering in the processing pipeline. However with this formulation, any intermediate buffering needs can be determined by scale which represents the maximum range of displacement in either x or y.

When applying this filter, the source pixel location will often lie between several source pixels.

Note: Depending on the speed of the available interpolents, this choice may be affected by the image-rendering property setting.

Note: A future version of this spec will define the interpolation method to be used when distorting the source image making UAs rendering result more interoperable.

The color-interpolation-filters property only applies to the in2 source image and does not apply to the in source image. The in source image must remain in its current color space.

Attribute definitions:

scale = "<number>"

Displacement scale factor. The amount is expressed in the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element.

When the value of this attribute is 0, this operation has no effect on the source image.

The initial value for scale is 0.

Animatable: yes.

xChannelSelector = "R | G | B | A"

Indicates which channel from in2 to use to displace the pixels in in along the x-axis.

The initial value for xChannelSelector is A.

Animatable: yes.

yChannelSelector = "R | G | B | A"

Indicates which channel from in2 to use to displace the pixels in in along the y-axis.

The initial value for yChannelSelector is A.

Animatable: yes.

in2 = "(see in attribute)"

The second input image, which is used to displace the pixels in the image from attribute in. See defintion for in attribute.

Animatable: yes.

9.12. Filter primitive feDropShadow

Name: feDropShadow
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEDropShadowElement

This filter creates a drop shadow of the input image. It is a shorthand filter, and is defined in terms of combinations of other filter primitives. The expectation is that it can be optimized more easily by implementations.

The result of a feDropShadow filter primitive is equivalent to the following:

<feGaussianBlur in="alpha-channel-of-feDropShadow-in"   stdDeviation="stdDeviation-of-feDropShadow"/>
<feOffset dx="dx-of-feDropShadow"   dy="dy-of-feDropShadow" result="offsetblur"/>
<feFlood flood-color="flood-color-of-feDropShadow"  flood-opacity="flood-opacity-of-feDropShadow"/>
<feComposite in2="offsetblur" operator="in"/>
<feMerge>
  <feMergeNode/>
  <feMergeNode in="in-of-feDropShadow"/>
</feMerge>

The above divided into steps:

  1. Take the alpha channel of the input to the feDropShadow filter primitive and the stdDeviation on the feDropShadow and do processing as if the following feGaussianBlur was applied:

    <feGaussianBlur in="alpha-channel-of-feDropShadow-in" stdDeviation="stdDeviation-of-feDropShadow"/>
    
  2. Offset the result of step 1 by dx and dy as specified on the feDropShadow element, equivalent to applying an feOffset with these parameters:

    <feOffset dx="dx-of-feDropShadow" dy="dy-of-feDropShadow" result="offsetblur"/>
    
  3. Do processing as if an feFlood element with flood-color and flood-opacity as specified on the feDropShadow was applied:

    <feFlood flood-color="flood-color-of-feDropShadow" flood-opacity="flood-opacity-of-feDropShadow"/>
    
  4. Composite the result of the feFlood in step 3 with the result of the feOffset in step 2 as if an feComposite filter primitive with operator="in" was applied:

    <feComposite in2="offsetblur" operator="in"/>
    
  5. Finally merge the result of the previous step, doing processing as if the following feMerge was performed:

    <feMerge>
      <feMergeNode/>
      <feMergeNode in="in-of-feDropShadow"/>
    </feMerge>
    

Note: that while the definition of the feDropShadow filter primitive says that it can be expanded into an equivalent tree it is not required that it is implemented like that. The expectation is that user agents can optimize the handling by not having to do all the steps separately.

Beyond the DOM interface SVGFEDropShadowElement there is no way of accessing the internals of the feDropShadow filter primitive, meaning if the filter primitive is implemented as an equivalent tree then that tree must not be exposed to the DOM.

Attribute definitions:

dx = "<number>"

The x offset of the drop shadow.

The initial value for dx is 2.

This attribute is then forwarded to the dx attribute of the internal feOffset element.

Animatable: yes.

dy = "<number>"

The y offset of the drop shadow.

The initial value for dy is 2.

This attribute is then forwarded to the dy attribute of the internal feOffset element.

Animatable: yes.

stdDeviation = "<number-optional-number>"

The standard deviation for the blur operation in the drop shadow.

The initial value for stdDeviation is 2.

This attribute is then forwarded to the stdDeviation attribute of the internal feGaussianBlur element.

Animatable: yes.

9.13. Filter primitive feFlood

Name: feFlood
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEFloodElement

This filter primitive creates a rectangle filled with the color and opacity values from properties flood-color and flood-opacity. The rectangle is as large as the filter primitive subregion established by the feFlood element.

9.13.1. The flood-color property

Name: flood-color
Value: <color>
Initial: black
Applies to: feFlood and feDropShadow elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Canonical order: per grammar
Media: visual
Animatable: as by computed value

The flood-color property indicates what color to used to flood the current filter primitive subregion.

The flood-color property is a presentation attribute for SVG elements.

9.13.2. The flood-opacity property

Name: flood-opacity
Value: <alpha-value>
Initial: 1
Applies to: feFlood and feDropShadow elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: the specified value converted to a number, clamped to the range [0,1]
Canonical order: per grammar
Media: visual
Animatable: by computed value

The flood-opacity property defines the opacity value to use across the entire filter primitive subregion. If the flood-color value includes an alpha channel, the alpha channel gets multiplied with the computed value of the flood-opacity property.

The flood-opacity property is a presentation attribute for SVG elements.

9.14. Filter primitive feGaussianBlur

Name: feGaussianBlur
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEGaussianBlurElement

This filter primitive performs a Gaussian blur on the input image.

The Gaussian blur kernel is an approximation of the normalized convolution:

G(x,y) = H(x)I(y)

where

H(x) = exp(-x2/ (2s2)) / sqrt(2π * s2)

and

I(y) = exp(-y2/ (2t2)) / sqrt(2π * t2)

with "s" being the standard deviation in the x direction and "t" being the standard deviation in the y direction, as specified by stdDeviation.

The value of stdDeviation can be either one or two numbers. If two numbers are provided, the first number represents a standard deviation value along the x-axis of the current coordinate system and the second value represents a standard deviation in Y. If one number is provided, then that value is used for both X and Y.

Even if only one value is provided for stdDeviation, this can be implemented as a separable convolution.

For larger values of "s" (s >= 2.0), an approximation can be used: Three successive box-blurs build a piece-wise quadratic convolution kernel, which approximates the Gaussian kernel to within roughly 3%.

let d = floor(s * 3 * sqrt(2 * π) / 4 + 0.5)

... if d is odd, use three box-blurs of size "d", centered on the output pixel.

... if d is even, two box-blurs of size "d" (the first one centered on the pixel boundary between the output pixel and the one to the left, the second one centered on the pixel boundary between the output pixel and the one to the right) and one box blur of size "d+1" centered on the output pixel.

The approximation formula also applies correspondingly to "t".

Frequently this operation will take place on alpha-only images, such as that produced by the built-in input, SourceAlpha. The implementation may notice this and optimize the single channel case. This optimization must be omitted if it leads to privacy concerns of any matter. (See section Privacy and Security Considerations for more details about timing attacks.) If the input has infinite extent and is constant (e.g FillPaint where the fill is a solid color), this operation has no effect. If the input has infinite extent and the filter result where the fill is a solid color) is the input to an feTile, the filter is evaluated with periodic boundary conditions.

Attribute definitions:

stdDeviation = "<number-optional-number>"

The standard deviation for the blur operation. If two <number> s are provided, the first number represents a standard deviation value along the x-axis of the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element. The second value represents a standard deviation in Y. If one number is provided, then that value is used for both X and Y.

A negative value or a value of zero disables the effect of the given filter primitive (i.e., the result is the filter input image).

If stdDeviation is 0 in only one of X or Y, then the effect is that the blur is only applied in the direction that has a non-zero value.

The initial value for stdDeviation is 0.

Animatable: yes.

edgeMode = "duplicate | wrap | none"

Determines how to extend the input image as necessary with color values so that the matrix operations can be applied when the kernel is positioned at or near the edge of the input image.

duplicate indicates that the input image is extended along each of its borders as necessary by duplicating the color values at the given edge of the input image.

Original N-by-M image, where m=M-1 and n=N-1:

wrap indicates that the input image is extended by taking the color values from the opposite edge of the image.

The value none indicates that the input image is extended with pixel values of zero for R, G, B and A.

The initial value for edgeMode is none.

Animatable: yes.

The example at the start of this chapter makes use of the feGaussianBlur filter primitive to create a drop shadow effect.

9.15. Filter primitive feImage

Name: feImage
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, animateTransform, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEImageElement

This filter primitive refers to a graphic external to this filter element, which is loaded or rendered into an RGBA raster and becomes the result of the filter primitive.

This filter primitive can refer to an external image or can be a reference to another piece of SVG. It produces an image similar to the built-in image source SourceGraphic except that the graphic comes from an external source.

If the href references a stand-alone image resource such as a JPEG, PNG or SVG file, then the image resource is rendered according to the behavior of the image element; otherwise, the referenced resource is rendered according to the behavior of the use element. In either case, the current user coordinate system depends on the value of attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element. The processing of the preserveAspectRatio attribute on the feImage element is identical to that of the image element.

A href reference that is an empty image (zero width or zero height), that fails to download, is non-existent, or that cannot be displayed (e.g. because it is not in a supported image format) fills the filter primitive subregion with transparent black.

When the referenced image must be resampled to match the device coordinate system, it is recommended that high quality viewers make use of appropriate interpolation techniques, for example bilinear or bicubic. Depending on the speed of the available interpolents, this choice may be affected by the image-rendering property setting.

Attribute definitions:

xlink:href = "<url>"

See href attribute.

Animatable: yes.

Note: This xlink:href attribute is deprecated and should not be used in new content, it’s included for backwards compatibility reasons only. Authors should use the href attribute instead.

9.16. Filter primitive feMerge

Name: feMerge
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, feMergeNode, script elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEMergeElement

This filter primitive composites input image layers on top of each other using the over operator with Input1 (corresponding to the first feMergeNode child element) on the bottom and the last specified input, InputN (corresponding to the last feMergeNode child element), on top.

Many effects produce a number of intermediate layers in order to create the final output image. This filter allows us to collapse those into a single image. Although this could be done by using n-1 Composite-filters, it is more convenient to have this common operation available in this form, and offers the implementation some additional flexibility.

Each feMerge element can have any number of feMergeNode subelements, each of which has an in attribute.

The canonical implementation of feMerge is to render the entire effect into one RGBA layer, and then render the resulting layer on the output device. In certain cases (in particular if the output device itself is a continuous tone device), and since merging is associative, it might be a sufficient approximation to evaluate the effect one layer at a time and render each layer individually onto the output device bottom to top.

If the topmost image input is SourceGraphic and this feMerge is the last filter primitive in the filter, the implementation is encouraged to render the layers up to that point, and then render the SourceGraphic directly from its vector description on top.

The example at the start of this chapter makes use of the feMerge filter primitive to composite two intermediate filter results together.

9.16.1. Merge node feMergeNode

Name: feMergeNode
Categories: None.
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.

DOM Interfaces: SVGFEMergeNodeElement

9.17. Filter primitive feMorphology

Name: feMorphology
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEMorphologyElement

This filter primitive performs "fattening" or "thinning" of artwork. It is particularly useful for fattening or thinning an alpha channel.

The dilation (or erosion) kernel is a rectangle with a width of 2*x-radius and a height of 2*y-radius. In dilation, the output pixel is the individual component-wise maximum of the corresponding R,G,B,A values in the input image’s kernel rectangle. In erosion, the output pixel is the individual component-wise minimum of the corresponding R,G,B,A values in the input image’s kernel rectangle.

Frequently this operation will take place on alpha-only images, such as that produced by the built-in input, SourceAlpha. In that case, the implementation might want to optimize the single channel case. This optimization must be omitted if it leads to privacy concerns of any matter. (See section Privacy and Security Considerations for more details.)

If the input has infinite extent and is constant (e.g FillPaint where the fill is a solid color), this operation has no effect. If the input has infinite extent and the filter result is the input to an feTile, the filter is evaluated with periodic boundary conditions.

Because feMorphology operates on premultipied color values, it will always result in color values less than or equal to the alpha channel.

Attribute definitions:

operator = "erode | dilate"

A keyword indicating whether to erode (i.e., thin) or dilate (fatten) the source graphic.

The initial value for operator is erode.

Animatable: yes.

radius = "<number-optional-number>"

The radius (or radii) for the operation. If two <number> s are provided, the first number represents a x-radius and the second value represents a y-radius. If one number is provided, then that value is used for both X and Y. The values are in the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element.

A negative or zero value disables the effect of the given filter primitive (i.e., the result is the filter input image).

The initial value for radius is 0.

Animatable: yes.

9.18. Filter primitive feOffset

Name: feOffset
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFEOffsetElement

This filter primitive offsets the input image relative to its current position in the image space by the specified vector.

This is important for effects like drop shadows.

When applying this filter, the destination location may be offset by a fraction of a pixel in device space. In this case a high quality viewer should make use of appropriate interpolation techniques, for example bilinear or bicubic. This is especially recommended for dynamic viewers where this interpolation provides visually smoother movement of images. For static viewers this is less of a concern. Close attention should be made to the image-rendering property setting to determine the authors intent.

Attribute definitions:

dx = "<number>"

The amount to offset the input graphic along the x-axis. The offset amount is expressed in the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element.

The initial value for dx is 0.

Animatable: yes.

dy = "<number>"

The amount to offset the input graphic along the y-axis. The offset amount is expressed in the coordinate system established by attribute primitiveUnits on the filter element.

The initial value for dy is 0.

Animatable: yes.

The example at the start of this chapter makes use of the feOffset filter primitive to offset the drop shadow from the original source graphic.

9.19. Filter primitive feSpecularLighting

Name: feSpecularLighting
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, script and exactly one light sources element, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFESpecularLightingElement

This filter primitive lights a source graphic using the alpha channel as a bump map. The resulting image is an RGBA image based on the light color. The lighting calculation follows the standard specular component of the Blinn-Phong lighting model. The resulting image depends on the light color, light position and surface geometry of the input bump map. The result of the lighting calculation is added. The filter primitive assumes that the viewer is at infinity in the z direction (i.e., the unit vector in the eye direction is (0,0,1) everywhere).

Note: This filter primitive produces an image which contains the specular reflection part of the lighting calculation. Such a map is intended to be combined with a texture from a second filter primitive using the add term of the arithmetic feComposite method. Multiple light sources can be simulated by adding several of these light maps before applying it to the texture image.

The resulting RGBA image is computed as follows:

Sr = ks * pow(N.H, specularExponent) * Lr
Sg = ks * pow(N.H, specularExponent) * Lg
Sb = ks * pow(N.H, specularExponent) * Lb
Sa = max(Sr, Sg, Sb)

where

ks = specular lighting constant
N = surface normal unit vector, a function of x and y
H = "halfway" unit vector between eye unit vector and light unit vector

Lr,Lg,Lb = RGB components of light

See feDiffuseLighting for definition of N and (Lr, Lg, Lb).

The definition of H reflects our assumption of the constant eye vector E = (0,0,1):

H = (L + E) / Norm(L+E)

where L is the light unit vector.

Unlike the feDiffuseLighting, the feSpecularLighting filter produces a non-opaque image. This is due to the fact that the specular result (Sr,Sg,Sb,Sa) is meant to be added to the textured image. The alpha channel of the result is the max of the color components, so that where the specular light is zero, no additional coverage is added to the image and a fully white highlight will add opacity.

The feDiffuseLighting and feSpecularLighting filters will often be applied together. An implementation may detect this and calculate both maps in one pass, instead of two.

Attribute definitions:

surfaceScale = "<number>"

height of surface when Ain = 1.

The initial value for surfaceScale is 1.

Animatable: yes.

specularConstant = "<number>"

ks in Phong lighting model. In SVG, this can be any non-negative number.

The initial value for specularConstant is 1.

Animatable: yes.

specularExponent = "<number>"

Exponent for specular term, larger is more "shiny".

The initial value for specularExponent is 1.

Animatable: yes.

kernelUnitLength = "<number-optional-number>"

The first number is the <dx> value. The second number is the <dy> value.

If the <dy> value is not specified, it defaults to the same value as <dx>. Indicates the intended distance in current filter units (i.e., units as determined by the value of attribute primitiveUnits) for dx and dy, respectively, in the surface normal calculation formulas. By specifying value(s) for kernelUnitLength, the kernel becomes defined in a scalable, abstract coordinate system.

If kernelUnitLength is not specified, the dx and dy values should represent very small deltas relative to a given (x,y) position, which might be implemented in some cases as one pixel in the intermediate image offscreen bitmap, which is a pixel-based coordinate system, and thus potentially not scalable. For some level of consistency across display media and user agents, it is necessary that a value be provided for kernelUnitLength.

Animatable: yes.

The light source is defined by one of the child elements feDistantLight, fePointLight or feSpotLight. The light color is specified by property lighting-color.

The example at the start of this chapter makes use of the feSpecularLighting filter primitive to achieve a highly reflective, 3D glowing effect.

9.20. Filter primitive feTile

Name: feTile
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFETileElement

This filter primitive fills a target rectangle with a repeated, tiled pattern of an input image. The target rectangle is as large as the filter primitive subregion established by the feTile element.

Typically, the input image has been defined with its own filter primitive subregion in order to define a reference tile. feTile replicates the reference tile in both X and Y to completely fill the target rectangle. The top/left corner of each given tile is at location (x + i*width, y + j*height), where (x,y) represents the top/left of the input image’s filter primitive subregion, width and height represent the width and height of the input image’s filter primitive subregion, and i and j can be any integer value. In most cases, the input image will have a smaller filter primitive subregion than the feTile in order to achieve a repeated pattern effect.

Implementers must take appropriate measures in constructing the tiled image to avoid artifacts between tiles, particularly in situations where the user to device transform includes shear and/or rotation. Unless care is taken, interpolation can lead to edge pixels in the tile having opacity values lower or higher than expected due to the interaction of painting adjacent tiles which each have partial overlap with particular pixels.

9.21. Filter primitive feTurbulence

Name: feTurbulence
Categories: filter primitive
Content model: Any number of descriptive elements, animate, script, set elements, in any order.
Attributes:
DOM Interfaces: SVGFETurbulenceElement

This filter primitive creates an image using the Perlin turbulence function. It allows the synthesis of artificial textures like clouds or marble. For a detailed description the of the Perlin turbulence function, see "Texturing and Modeling" [TaM]. The resulting image will fill the entire filter primitive subregion for this filter primitive.

It is possible to create bandwidth-limited noise by synthesizing only one octave.

The C code below shows the exact algorithm used for this filter effect. The filter primitive subregion is to be passed as the arguments fTileX, fTileY, fTileWidth and fTileHeight.

For fractalSum, you get a turbFunctionResult that is aimed at a range of -1 to 1 (the actual result might exceed this range in some cases). To convert to a color or alpha value, use the formula colorValue = (turbFunctionResult + 1) / 2, then clamp to the range 0 to 1.

For turbulence, you get a turbFunctionResult that is aimed at a range of 0 to 1 (the actual result might exceed this range in some cases). To convert to a color or alpha value, use the formula colorValue = turbFunctionResult, then clamp to the range 0 to 1.

The following order is used for applying the pseudo random numbers. An initial seed value is computed based on the seed attribute. Then the implementation computes the lattice points for R, then continues getting additional pseudo random numbers relative to the last generated pseudo random number and computes the lattice points for G, and so on for B and A.

The generated color and alpha values are in the color space determined by the color-interpolation-filters property:

/* Produces results in the range [1, 2**31 - 2].

where a = 16807 and m = 2**31 - 1 = 2147483647

Attribute definitions:

baseFrequency = "<number-optional-number>"

The base frequency (frequencies) parameter(s) for the noise function. If two <number>s are provided, the first number represents a base frequency in the X direction and the second value represents a base frequency in the Y direction. If one number is provided, then that value is used for both X and Y.

The initial value for baseFrequency is 0.

Negative values are unsupported.

Animatable: yes.

numOctaves = "<integer>"

The numOctaves parameter for the noise function.

The initial value for numOctaves is 1.

Negative values are unsupported.

Animatable: yes.

Note: The contribution of each additional octave to the color and alpha values in the final image is one-half of the preceding octave. At some point, the contribution of additional octaves becomes smaller than the color resolution for a given color depth. UAs may clamp the specified value for numOctaves during the processing depending on the supported color depth. (For example: For a color depth of 8 bits per channel, the UA may clamp the value of numOctaves to 9.)

seed = "<number>"

The starting number for the pseudo random number generator.

The initial value for seed is 0.

When the seed number is handed over to the algorithm above it must first be truncated, i.e. rounded to the closest integer value towards zero.

Animatable: yes.

stitchTiles = "stitch | noStitch"

If stitchTiles="noStitch", no attempt is made to achieve smooth transitions at the border of tiles which contain a turbulence function. Sometimes the result will show clear discontinuities at the tile borders.

If stitchTiles="stitch", then the user agent will automatically adjust baseFrequency-x and baseFrequency-y values such that the feTurbulence node’s width and height (i.e., the width and height of the current subregion) contains an integral number of the Perlin tile width and height for the first octave. The baseFrequency will be adjusted up or down depending on which way has the smallest relative (not absolute) change as follows: Given the frequency, calculate lowFreq=floor(width*frequency)/width and hiFreq=ceil(width*frequency)/width. If frequency/lowFreq < hiFreq/frequency then use lowFreq, else use hiFreq. While generating turbulence values, generate lattice vectors as normal for Perlin Noise, except for those lattice points that lie on the right or bottom edges of the active area (the size of the resulting tile). In those cases, copy the lattice vector from the opposite edge of the active area.

The initial value for stitchTiles is noStitch.

Animatable: yes.

type = "fractalNoise | turbulence"

Indicates whether the filter primitive should perform a noise or turbulence function.

10. The color-interpolation-filters property

The description of the color-interpolation-filters property is as follows:

Name: color-interpolation-filters
Value: auto | sRGB | linearRGB
Initial: linearRGB
Applies to: All filter primitives
Inherited: yes
Percentages: n/a
Computed value: as specified
Canonical order: per grammar
Media: visual
Animatable: no
auto

Indicates that the user agent can choose either the sRGB or linearRGB spaces for filter effects color operations. This option indicates that the author doesn’t require that color operations occur in a particular color space.

sRGB

Indicates that filter effects color operations should occur in the sRGB color space.

linearRGB

Indicates that filter effects color operations should occur in the linearized RGB color space.

The color-interpolation-filters property specifies the color space for imaging operations performed via filter effects.

Note: The color-interpolation-filters property just has an affect on filter operations. Therefore, it has no effect on filter primitives like feOffset, feImage, feTile or feFlood.

Note: The color-interpolation-filters has a different initial value than color-interpolation. color-interpolation-filters has an initial value of linearRGB, where as color-interpolation has an initial value of sRGB. Thus, in the default case, filter effects operations occur in the linearRGB color space, whereas all other color interpolations occur by default in the sRGB color space.

Note: The color-interpolation-filters property has no affect on Filter Functions, which operate in the sRGB color space.

The color-interpolation-filters property is a presentation attribute for SVG elements.

The lighting-color property is a presentation attribute for SVG elements.

12. Filter CSS <image> values

CSS <image> values can be filtered with the filter functions specified for the CSS filter property. This specification introduces the <image> <filter()> function with the following syntax:

filter() = filter( [ <image> | <string> ], <filter-value-list> )

The <filter()> function takes two arguments. The first argument is an <image>. The second is a filter function list as specified for the CSS filter property. The function takes the <image> parameter and applies the filter rules, returning a processing image. Filter- and filter effect regions are sized according to the concrete object size of the input <image>.

Note: Since the dimension and origin of the original image must be preserved, some filter effects like <drop-shadow()> on a fully opaque image may not have any affect.

For the <blur()> function the edgeMode attribute on the feGaussianBlur element is set to duplicate. This produces more pleasant results on the edges of the filtered input image.

12.1. Interpolating filter()

If both the starting and ending image are <filter()>s which may only differ by their used filter functions, they must be interpolated by interpolating their filter function lists as described in section Interpolation of Filters. Otherwise, they must be interpolated as generic <image>s. If the filter function interpolation can not be performed, the images must be interpolated as generic <image>s.

13. Shorthands defined in terms of the filter element

13.1. Filter primitive representation

Below are the equivalents for each of the filter functions expressed in terms of the 'filter element' element. The parameters from the function are labeled with brackets in the following style: [amount]. In the case of parameters that are percentage values, they are converted to real numbers.

13.1.1. grayscale

<filter id="grayscale">
  <feColorMatrix type="matrix"
             values="
    (0.2126 + 0.7874 * [1 - amount]) (0.7152 - 0.7152  * [1 - amount]) (0.0722 - 0.0722 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    (0.2126 - 0.2126 * [1 - amount]) (0.7152 + 0.2848  * [1 - amount]) (0.0722 - 0.0722 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    (0.2126 - 0.2126 * [1 - amount]) (0.7152 - 0.7152  * [1 - amount]) (0.0722 + 0.9278 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    0 0 0 1 0"/>
</filter>

13.1.2. sepia

<filter id="sepia">
  <feColorMatrix type="matrix"
             values="
    (0.393 + 0.607 * [1 - amount]) (0.769 - 0.769 * [1 - amount]) (0.189 - 0.189 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    (0.349 - 0.349 * [1 - amount]) (0.686 + 0.314 * [1 - amount]) (0.168 - 0.168 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    (0.272 - 0.272 * [1 - amount]) (0.534 - 0.534 * [1 - amount]) (0.131 + 0.869 * [1 - amount]) 0 0
    0 0 0 1 0"/>
</filter>

13.1.3. saturate

<filter id="saturate">
  <feColorMatrix type="saturate" values="[amount]"/>
</filter>

13.1.4. hue-rotate

<filter id="hue-rotate">
  <feColorMatrix type="hueRotate" values="[angle]"/>
</filter>

13.1.5. invert

<filter id="invert">
  <feComponentTransfer>
      <feFuncR type="table" tableValues="[amount] (1 - [amount])"/>
      <feFuncG type="table" tableValues="[amount] (1 - [amount])"/>
      <feFuncB type="table" tableValues="[amount] (1 - [amount])"/>
  </feComponentTransfer>
</filter>

13.1.6. opacity

<filter id="opacity">
  <feComponentTransfer>
      <feFuncA type="table" tableValues="0 [amount]"/>
  </feComponentTransfer>
</filter>

13.1.7. brightness

<filter id="brightness">
  <feComponentTransfer>
      <feFuncR type="linear" slope="[amount]"/>
      <feFuncG type="linear" slope="[amount]"/>
      <feFuncB type="linear" slope="[amount]"/>
  </feComponentTransfer>
</filter>

13.1.8. contrast

<filter id="contrast">
  <feComponentTransfer>
      <feFuncR type="linear" slope="[amount]" intercept="-(0.5 * [amount]) + 0.5"/>
      <feFuncG type="linear" slope="[amount]" intercept="-(0.5 * [amount]) + 0.5"/>
      <feFuncB type="linear" slope="[amount]" intercept="-(0.5 * [amount]) + 0.5"/>
  </feComponentTransfer>
</filter>

13.1.9. blur

<filter id="blur">
  <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="[radius radius]" edgeMode="[edge mode]" >
</filter>

Where edge mode computes to none for the filter property and to duplicate for the CSS Image <filter()> function.

Note: The <blur()> function may increase the UA defined filter region. See Filter region for shorthands.

13.1.10. drop-shadow

<filter id="drop-shadow">
  <feGaussianBlur in="[alpha-channel-of-input]" stdDeviation="[radius]"/>
  <feOffset dx="[offset-x]" dy="[offset-y]" result="offsetblur"/>
  <feFlood flood-color="[color]"/>
  <feComposite in2="offsetblur" operator="in"/>
  <feMerge>
    <feMergeNode/>
    <feMergeNode in="[input-image]"/>
  </feMerge>
</filter>

Note: The <drop-shadow()> function may increase the UA defined filter region. See Filter region for shorthands.

13.2. Filter region for shorthands

All shorthand filters implemented with filter primitives in the previous subsection must have a UA defined filter region. The filter region must cover the visual content of an element including overflowing content, graphical control elements such as scrollbars, border/border-image, box-shadow, text-shadow and outline. Furthermore, if a shorthand filter expands this visible area like it is the case for <blur()> or <drop-shadow()> the filter region must cover this area as well.

Note: For the handling of filter sources see section Filter region.

14. Animation of Filters

14.1. Interpolation of Filter Function Lists

For interpolation between one filter and a second, the steps corresponding to the first matching condition in the following list must be run:

If both filters have a <filter-value-list> of same length without <url> and for each <filter-function> for which there is a corresponding item in each list
Interpolate each <filter-function> pair following the rules in section Interpolation of Filter Functions.
If both filters have a <filter-value-list> of different length without <url> and for each <filter-function> for which there is a corresponding item in each list
  1. Append the missing equivalent <filter-function>s from the longer list to the end of the shorter list. The new added <filter-function>s must be initialized to their initial values for interpolation.
  2. Interpolate each <filter-function> pair following the rules in section Interpolation of Filter Functions.
If one filter is none and the other is a <filter-value-list> without <url>
  1. Replace none with the corresponding <filter-value-list> of the other filter. The new <filter-function>s must be initialized to their initial values for interpolation.
  2. Interpolate each <filter-function> pair following the rules in section Interpolation of Filter Functions.
Otherwise
Use discrete interpolation.

Compute distance of filter functions. <https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/91>

14.2. Addition

It is possible to combine independent animations of <filter-value-list>s [SVG11].

Given two filter values representing an base value (base filter list) and a value to add (added filter list), returns the concatenation of the the two lists: ‘base filter list added filter list’.

The following SVG animation has two animate elements animating filter property of the rect element. Both specified animations are additive and have a duration of 10s.
<rect width="200px" filter="none" ...>
  <animate attributeName="filter" from="blur(0px)" to="blur(10px)" dur="10s"
           additive="sum"/>
  <animate attributeName="filter" from="sepia(0)" to="sepia(1)" dur="10s"
           additive="sum"/>
</rect>

After 5s, the used value of filter is blur(5px) sepia(0.5).

14.3. Accumulation

Given two filter values Va and Vb, returns the filter value, Vb.

15. Privacy and Security Considerations

15.1. Tainted Filter Primitives

It is important that the timing of any filter operation is independent of pixel values derived from the filtered content or other sources potentially containing privacy-sensitive information.

The following filter primitives may have access to pixel values that potentially contain privacy-sensitive information, either from the filtered object itself or other sources such as CSS styling. These primitives must be flagged as "tainted".

  1. feFlood when the specified value of the flood-color property computes to currentColor,

  2. feDropShadow when the specified value value of the flood-color property computes to currentColor,

  3. feDiffuseLighting, when the specified value value of the lighting-color property computes to currentColor

  4. feSpecularLighting when the specified value value of the lighting-color property computes to currentColor,

  5. feImage, when the <url> reference points to an element or fetches a resource with the fetching mode No-CORS and

  6. the filter primitives: SourceGraphic, SourceAlpha, BackgroundImage, BackgroundAlpha, FillPaint and StrokePaint.

feFlood, feDropShadow, feDiffuseLighting and feSpecularLighting are primitives with one or more CSS properties that take <color> as property value. <color> consists of (amongst others) the currentColor keyword. The used value for currentColor derives from the color property. Since color can be set by the :visited pseudo selector, it potentially contains privacy-sensitive information and therefore these primitives must be marked as tainted.

feImage can reference cross-domain images as well as document fragments such as SVG graphics elements. These references potentially contain privacy-sensitive information and therefore the primitive must be marked as tainted.

The filter primitives SourceGraphic, SourceAlpha, BackgroundImage, BackgroundAlpha, FillPaint and StrokePaint either reference document fragments such as SVG graphics elements or style information that may derive directly or indirectly from the color property. Therefore these primitives must be marked as tainted.

Every filter primitive that has a "tainted" flagged filter primitive as input must be flagged as "tainted" as well.

Filter operations must be implemented in such a way that they always take the same amount of time regardless of the pixel values if one of the input filter primitives is flagged as "tainted".

Note: This specification aggravates the restrictions to filter primitives based on implementation feedback from user agents.

15.2. feDisplacementMap Restrictions

If feDisplacementMap has a "tainted" flagged filter primitive as input and this input filter primitive is used as displacement map (referenced by in2), then feDisplacementMap must not proceed with the filter operation and acts as a pass through filter.

15.3. Origin Restrictions

User agents must use the potentially CORS-enabled fetch method defined by the [HTML5] specification for the filter property. When fetching, user agents must use "Anonymous" mode, set the referrer source to the stylesheet’s URL and set the origin to the URL of the containing document. If this results in network errors, the effect is as if the value none had been specified.

15.4. Timing Attacks

If any of the above rules are not followed, an attacker could infer information and mount a timing attack.

A timing attack is a method of obtaining information about content that is otherwise protected, based on studying the amount of time it takes for an operation to occur. If, for example, red pixels took longer to draw than green pixels, one might be able to reconstruct a rough image of the element being rendered, without ever having access to the content of the element. Security studies show that timing differences on arithmetic operations can be caused by the hardware architecture or compiler [ArTD].

Appendix A: The deprecated enable-background property

SVG 1.1 introduced the enable-background property [SVG11]. The property defined the back drop under the filter region at the time that the filter element was invoked. The concept defined by this property was identified to be incompatible with the model of stacking context in CSS at the time writing this specification. UAs can choose to implement the enable-background property as defined in SVG 1.1 but will not be compatible to this specification or to CSS Compositing and Blending [COMPOSITING-1].

This specification does not support the enable-background property. UAs must support the isolation property instead [COMPOSITING-1].

Conformance

Document conventions

Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

All of the text of this specification is normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]

Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example” or are set apart from the normative text with class="example", like this:

This is an example of an informative example.

Informative notes begin with the word “Note” and are set apart from the normative text with class="note", like this:

Note, this is an informative note.

Advisements are normative sections styled to evoke special attention and are set apart from other normative text with <strong class="advisement">, like this: UAs MUST provide an accessible alternative.

Conformance classes

Conformance to this specification is defined for three conformance classes:

style sheet
A CSS style sheet.
renderer
A UA that interprets the semantics of a style sheet and renders documents that use them.
authoring tool
A UA that writes a style sheet.

A style sheet is conformant to this specification if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature defined in this module.

A renderer is conformant to this specification if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined by this specification by parsing them correctly and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)

An authoring tool is conformant to this specification if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets as described in this module.

Requirements for Responsible Implementation of CSS

The following sections define several conformance requirements for implementing CSS responsibly, in a way that promotes interoperability in the present and future.

Partial Implementations

So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to assign fallback values, CSS renderers must treat as invalid (and ignore as appropriate) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support. In particular, user agents must not selectively ignore unsupported property values and honor supported values in a single multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be ignored.

Implementations of Unstable and Proprietary Features

To avoid clashes with future stable CSS features, the CSSWG recommends following best practices for the implementation of unstable features and proprietary extensions to CSS.

Implementations of CR-level Features

Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, implementers should release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec, and should avoid exposing a prefixed variant of that feature.

To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group.

Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports can be found from on the CSS Working Group’s website at https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/. Questions should be directed to the public-css-testsuite@w3.org mailing list.
