All SVG filters are defined within a <defs> element. The <defs> element is short for definitions and contains definition of special elements (such as filters)
All SVG filters are defined within a <defs> element. The <defs> element is short for definitions and contains definition of special elements (such as filters).
The <filter> element is used to define an SVG filter. The <filter> element has a required id attribute which identifies the filter. The graphic then points to the filter to use.
The <feOffset> element is used to create drop shadow effects. The idea is to take an SVG graphic (image or element) and move it a little bit in the xy plane.
The first example offsets a rectangle (with <feOffset>), then blend the original on top of the offset image (with <feBlend>):
Here is the SVG code:
<svg height="120" width="120">
<defs>
<filter id="f1" x="0" y="0" width="200%" height="200%">
<feOffset result="offOut" in="SourceGraphic" dx="20"
dy="20" />
<feBlend in="SourceGraphic" in2="offOut"
mode="normal" />
</filter>
</defs>
<rect width="90" height="90" stroke="green" stroke-width="3"
fill="yellow" filter="url(#f1)" />
</svg>
Now, the offset image can be blurred (with <feGaussianBlur>):
Here is the SVG code:
<svg height="140" width="140">
<defs>
<filter id="f2" x="0" y="0" width="200%" height="200%">
<feOffset result="offOut" in="SourceGraphic" dx="20"
dy="20" />
<feGaussianBlur result="blurOut" in="offOut"
stdDeviation="10" />
<feBlend in="SourceGraphic" in2="blurOut"
mode="normal" />
</filter>
</defs>
<rect width="90" height="90" stroke="green" stroke-width="3"
fill="yellow" filter="url(#f2)" />
</svg>
Now, make the shadow black:
Here is the SVG code:
<svg height="140" width="140">
<defs>
<filter id="f3" x="0" y="0" width="200%" height="200%">
<feOffset result="offOut" in="SourceAlpha" dx="20"
dy="20" />
<feGaussianBlur result="blurOut" in="offOut"
stdDeviation="10" />
<feBlend in="SourceGraphic" in2="blurOut"
mode="normal" />
</filter>
</defs>
<rect width="90" height="90" stroke="green" stroke-width="3"
fill="yellow" filter="url(#f3)" />
</svg>
Now, treat the shadow as a color:
Here is the SVG code:
<svg height="140" width="140">
<defs>
<filter id="f4" x="0" y="0" width="200%" height="200%">
<feOffset result="offOut" in="SourceGraphic" dx="20"
dy="20" />
<feColorMatrix result="matrixOut" in="offOut"
type="matrix"
values="0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0.2 0 0 0 0 0
1 0" />
<feGaussianBlur result="blurOut" in="matrixOut"
stdDeviation="10" />
<feBlend in="SourceGraphic" in2="blurOut"
mode="normal" />
</filter>
</defs>
<rect width="90" height="90" stroke="green" stroke-width="3"
fill="yellow" filter="url(#f4)" />
</svg>
