Abstract

Vector graphic image files defined in SVG format can contain filters, graphical effects that can be used for modifying the image pixels algorithmically. Filtered is an open source tool for visual edit-ing of these filters. Although the process that eventually led to filtered started over ten years ago, Filtered is still a relevant tool for SVG content development, as no other tool supports visual editing of SVG filters to the same extent. During the past ten years, SVG has also become an integral part of the WWW infrastructure, supported by all major web browsers. However, filters are still used rarely in the SVG content, as tool support for editing filters has been poor. This is a production-based thesis. The written part describes the user interface design process of Filtered. The outcome of the production, Filtered software, is freely available for download from http://filtered.sourceforge.net.
