This filter adds a blur to the provided ggplot layer. The amount of blur can be controlled and the result can optionally be put underneath the original layer.
with_blur(x, sigma = 0.5, stack = FALSE, ...)Arguments
- x
A ggplot2 layer object, a ggplot, a grob, or a character string naming a filter
- sigma
The standard deviation of the gaussian kernel. Increase it to apply more blurring. If a numeric it will be interpreted as given in pixels. If a unit object it will automatically be converted to pixels at rendering time
- stack
Should the original layer be placed on top?
- ...
Arguments to be passed on to methods. See the documentation of supported object for a description of object specific arguments.
Value
Depending on the input, either a grob, Layer, list of Layers,
guide, or element object. Assume the output can be used in the same
context as the input.
