/**
 * SECTION:shell-blur-effect
 * @short_description: Blur effect for actors
 *
 * #ShellBlurEffect is a moderately fast gaussian blur implementation. It also has
 * an optional brighness property.
 *
 * # Modes
 *
 * #ShellBlurEffect can work in @SHELL_BLUR_MODE_BACKGROUND and @SHELL_BLUR_MODE_ACTOR
 * modes. The actor mode blurs the actor itself, and all of its children. The
 * background mode blurs the pixels beneath the actor, but not the actor itself.
 *
 * @SHELL_BLUR_MODE_BACKGROUND can be computationally expensive, since the contents
 * beneath the actor cannot be cached, so beware of the performance implications
 * of using this blur mode.
 *
 * # Optimizations
 *
 * There are a number of optimizations in place to make this blur implementation
 * real-time. All in all, the implementation performs best when using large
 * blur-radii that allow downscaling the texture to smaller sizes, at small
 * radii where no downscaling is possible this can easily halve the framerate.
 *
 * ## Multipass
 *
 * It is implemented in 2 passes: vertical and horizontal.
 *
 * ## Downscaling
 *
 * #ShellBlurEffect uses dynamic downscaling to speed up blurring. Downscaling
 * happens in factors of 2 (the image is downscaled either by 2, 4, 8, 16, …) and
 * depends on the blur radius, the actor size, among others.
 *
 * The actor is drawn into a downscaled framebuffer; the blur passes are applied
 * on the downscaled actor contents; and finally, the blurred contents are drawn
 * upscaled again.
 *
 * ## Hardware Interpolation
 *
 * This blur implementation cuts down the number of sampling operations by
 * exploiting the hardware interpolation that is performed when sampling between
 * pixel boundaries. This technique is described at:
 *
 * http://rastergrid.com/blog/2010/09/efficient-gaussian-blur-with-linear-sampling/
 *
 * ## Incremental gauss-factor calculation
 *
 * The kernel values for the gaussian kernel are computed incrementally instead
 * of running the expensive calculations multiple times inside the blur shader.
 * The implementation is based on the algorithm presented by K. Turkowski in
 * GPU Gems 3, chapter 40:
 *
 * https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/GPUGems3/gpugems3_ch40.html
