The operator attribute either defines the compositing operation or morphing operation to be performed. The elements that are using this attribute includes: <feComposite> and <feMorphology>.
Syntax:
operator = erode|dilate|over|arithmetic|out|atop|xor|lighter|in
Attribute Values: The operator attribute accepts the values mentioned above and described below
- over: It shows that the source graphic defined in the in attribute is placed over the destination graphic defined in the in2 attribute.
- in: It shows that the parts of the source graphic defined in the in attribute replace the destination graphic defined in the in2 attribute.
- out: It shows that the parts of the source graphic defined in the in attribute are displayed.
- atop: It shows that the parts of the source graphic which overlap the destination graphic, replace the destination graphic.
- xor: It shows that the non-overlapping regions of the source graphic defined in the in attribute are combined with the destination graphic defined in the in2 attribute.
- lighter: It shows that the sum of the source graphic and the destination graphic defined in the in and in2 attribute respectively, is displayed.
- arithmetic: It shows that the source graphic and the destination graphic defined in the in and in2 attribute respectively are combined using the following formula: result = k1*i1*i2 + k2*i1 + k3*i2 + k4
- erode: It thins the source graphic defined in the in attribute.
- dilate: It fattens the source graphic defined in the in attribute.
