Hi all
Sorry to be a pain, I am sure this must have been asked before but can you tell me why my svg files with blur effect do not show the blur in e.g. Firefox 2.0.0.6?
I uploaded a bit of clipart (of a crab) to the open clip art library and lost the blur, although it is preserved in an exported png file. You can see both here: http://openclipart.org/media/files/addon/4258 Just left-click the appropriate buttons to see the file, no need to download .... Comments will be very welcome!

The Blur effect to the best of my understanding is a feature local to Inkscape and as such it wont show on other SVG viewers. I'm not sure if there's a Blur effect in the official spec of the SVG file format or not, but the one in Inkscape (0.45.1, anyways) is local to the application.

No no no. It's standard SVG. Simply not supported by firefox 2 yet. Maybe firefox 3 supports it.

Hmm... Nor does Eye of GNOME supports it (it uses ImageMagick as backend, I believe) and the Adobe SVG viewer program doesn't show blur effects either (albeit it is an old version the one I have), the only program where I've been able to see the effect is in Inkscape, that's why I thought it was local to it.

When in doubt, always refer to Apache Batik as an authoritative renderer. It renders our blur just fine.

Thanks all, I should have realised immediately it was a browser thing. Look forward to Firefox 3.

Opera 9.23 also shows the blur just fine.

i could be wrong but opera seems to always be ahead of the game when it comes to standards compliance.

They are. The problem is that some sites are lagging behind when it comes to standards compliance. For example, I'm trying to run the Opera 9.5 Alpha with Gmail and my quick contacts list doesn't display correctly. Google should hang their heads if it is indeed their fault. I thought everyone was smart enough (especially Google) now to forget about tailoring to suit specific browser hacks and work to standards compliance.

Blur is part of the official spec.
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/filters.html#feGaussianBlur
Firefox 3 implements this particular filter but Firefox 2 does not.
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_in_Firefox
The blur implementation in Inkscape 0.45.1 is not local to the application. It uses the feGaussianBlur filter. The Inset/Outset Halo effect available with prior versions of inkscape was also fully within the bounds of the spec.
