Hi all, I'm missing two filters in SVG. Or I don't know if they exist or not.
The first one is a simple transform. I don't want to apply the transform directly to the svg element, but rather to an intermediate filter primitive result. It is already possible for translations with feOffset, but not for other kinds of transformations, afaik. I think it would be great to make shadow projections (*skew*) and reflection (negative *scale*). There is a workaround using feDisplacementMap (see example below). But this filter has some issues with performance, ease of use and I can't see how to make the map dimension relative to the filtered object. The second feature I'm missing is a blur with a variable stdDeviation (depending on the pixel location). I know I can make the stdDeviation different for each axis, but it's not what I want. I want the blur to be null at the bottom part, and increase progressively toward the top of the object. This also would be very useful for shadow projections (of a vertical object on a horizontal ground). The only workaround I can think of would involve a displacement map that would enlarge the bottom part (a trapezoidal-like transform), apply the blur effect, and then apply the inverted displacement map in order to have the shape back in place. Is there other ways to achieve these effects ? Thanks.
