Hello,

I want to be able to blur an image\bitmap horizontally and vertically according to a given radious of pixels. Lets say, that I want to blur the picture with a radious of 5 pixels…  
I saw there’s an existing class called BlurFilter, but it receives numbers for the horizontal and vertical blur, and i’m not sure what the number’s values mean.

Is there a way to blur according to a given radious of pixels?  
Thanks
