  | Poznámka
  These options are described in Oddiel 2, “Common Features”.

Length

  In this case, “Length” represents the blur intensity. More Length will result in more blurring.

Angle

  “Angle” describes the direction of the movement. Thus, a setting of 90 will produce a vertical blur, and a setting of 0 will produce a horizontal blur.

On-canvas controls

  This option (default) allows you to modify blur settings directly on canvas, for easier visual tweaking of blur settings. It displays a line with handle on both ends to vary direction and transform.

  Press Ctrl key to change direction by 15° steps.
