Other than that, the official SVG Filters specification can help perhaps... http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/filters.html

Hi Friends, For a long time I've been trying to learn how to create new
Inkscape
filters. I mean starting from scratch, not just building on existing filters. I've been able to do some very simple things, but my efforts usually devolve into one at a time, trying every option available. By
sheer
chance, I sometimes end up with something that might be useful. It would be so very helpful if someone could write a guide, which explains the basic concepts. I think I've finally managed to work out
how
the Filters Editor works. But I'm missing the basic concepts which would help me make decisions about 'what to do next'. I have contacted people who I know have created filters, who know how to do it, but without success in finding the info needed. And I
thought
about adding this to the Community To-Do List page. It's a lot like the need for a guide to writing extensions, I guess. But for some reason, it seems to me like more of a request for a tutorial, and that's not exactly what that page is for (I don't think). Although if it seems to the
website
team like it's appropriate, I can see to adding it there. But otherwise, I thought I'd just make a request to the user community. Can anyone either volunteer to write such a tutorial? Or otherwise point me (and everyone) to some resources for learning how?
Thank you very much :-)
Some time ago I started a blog post on how designing a "fabric" filter effect but never finished it. If you can remind me in a couple of weeks I can try to get it finished (I'm on vacation at the moment).
