The color of each pixel in the main window will be replaced with the averaged color of <br><br> width x height <br><br> pixels surrounding this pixel. The original color of this pixel will be used too, weighted equally as all other pixels. The contrast will be reduced. Larger blur rectangle will result in softer image. The textual content of the main window (titles, labels) will remain unchanged. Default blur rectangle width and height: 3x3 pixels (see the configuration file, <a href="../config/index.html"> .garlicrc </a> ). <br><br> Use the command BLUR OFF (short form: BLU OFF) to switch blur off. <br><br> <font color=#880000> <b> EXAMPLES <br> </b> </font> <table border=2 cellspacing=2 cellpading=0> <td align="left"> COMMAND </td> <td align="left"> DESCRIPTION </td> <tr> <td align="left"> blur </td> <td align="left"> Soften the image in the main window, <br> using default blur rectangle. </td> <tr> <td align="left"> blur 4 4 </td> <td align="left"> Soften the image in the main window, <br> using 16 pixels to calculate color <br> of the central pixel. </td> <tr> <td align="left"> blur off </td> <td align="left"> Switch blur off. </td> </table> <br> The following eight images show the water molecule on two different backgrounds, white and black.
