<p class="MsoNormal">I still need to figure out (for sure) how to scale the width of the actual blur though. Even if there isn’t a method for that, I can fake it with a hidden line/width if needed. I need to represent a scaled line width on top of a variable
width blur (as the tolerance), if that makes any sense. In your example it looks like the blur width is directly proportional to the line width, but I would need to experiment some to be sure. I need the blur to be scalable in map units, which might be the
hard part but maybe those values are all honored across all unit values.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <span style="font-family:"Courier New"">blur(7)</span> looks like the key to scaling the width, correct? Is there a better doc set on COMPOSITE than here:
