I want to blur things on a canvas. If I search for "blur" and "skia" the results lead me to believe that skia has blur capabilities. How about exposing them to us?

@trevordevore: This is certainly something we will look into - after a quick look, it appears that the most recent version of Skia supports all the 'image filters' (including blur) required to implement SVG1.1 fully which would be neat.

It would be great to be able to define an 'image filter graph' when starting a new layer to describe how to merge it into the parent layer - this would generalize the bitmap-effects we have at the moment.

An image filter graph would be great. I'm working on a new UI for a product right now and I want to avoid bitmaps as much as possible. I have all of my icons in a font so they scale automatically. I just need to apply some effects to some of them. If blurring (and other effects) could be handled with LCB then resolution independence would be much easier.

I've added a feature request: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14796
