filter_gaussian_blur: Filter: add a gaussian blur to an element
In omsvg: Build and Transform 'SVG' Objects

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

A gaussian blur effectively blurs an input image or shape by the amount specified in stdev. The standard deviation of stdev is in direct reference to the gaussian distribution that governs the extent of blurring.

1	filter_gaussian_blur(stdev = 1, what = "source")

`stdev`	The number of standard deviations for the blur effect.
`what`	What exactly should be blurred? By default, it is the `"source"` image.

An svg object.

# Add a green ellipse to an SVG and
