It makes some sense if the width of the blurred region has to be called "blur radius" and then you wotlrk backwards from there to come up with a meaning to match the words. But if you instead work forwards from what would be the most intuitive to author, that is specifying the width of the part that is visibly different, then you can free yourself from the word "radius", and save that work for things that are actually based on a more obvious circle or ellipse or arc with that measurement as it's radius.Received on Tuesday, 15 June 2010 02:34:23 UTC
