    \brief Applies a higher quality blur effect.

    GaussianBlur effect softens the image by blurring it with an algorithm that
    uses the Gaussian function to calculate the effect. The effect produces
    higher quality than \l{QtGraphicalEffects::FastBlur}{FastBlur}, but is
    slower to render.

    \endtable

    \note This effect is available when running with OpenGL.

    \section1 Example

    The following example shows how to apply the effect.
    \snippet GaussianBlur-example.qml example

    Performing blur live is a costly operation. Fullscreen gaussian blur
    with even a moderate number of samples will only run at 60 fps on highend
    graphics hardware.

    /*!
        This property defines the distance of the neighboring pixels which
        affect the blurring of an individual pixel. A larger radius increases
        the blur effect.

        The ideal blur is acheived by selecting \c samples and \c radius such
        that \c {samples = 1 + radius * 2}, such as:

        \table

        \row    \li 3                  \li 7
        \endtable

        The value ranges from 0.0 (no blur) to inf. By default, the property is
        set to \c floor(samples / 2.0).

    property real radius: Math.floor(samples / 2);

    /*!
        This property defines how many samples are taken per pixel when blur
        calculation is done. Larger value produces better quality, but is slower
        to render.

        Ideally, this value should be twice as large as the highest required
        radius value plus 1, for example, if the radius is animated between 0.0
        and 4.0, samples should be set to 9.

        By default, the property is set to \c 9.

        \note This property is not intended to be animated. Changing this property may
        cause the underlying OpenGL shaders to be recompiled.

    */
    property int samples: 9

    /*!
        This property is a parameter to the gaussian function that is used when
        calculating neighboring pixel weights for the blurring. A larger
        deviation causes image to appear more blurry, but it also reduces the
        quality of the blur. A very large deviation value causes the effect to
        look a bit similar to what, for exmple, a box blur algorithm produces. A
        too small deviation values makes the effect insignificant for the pixels
        near the radius.

        \inlineimage GaussianBlur_deviation_graph.png
        \caption The image above shows the Gaussian function with two different
        deviation values, yellow (1) and cyan (2.7). The y-axis shows the
        weights, the x-axis shows the pixel distance.

        The value ranges from 0.0 (no deviation) to inf (maximum deviation). By
        default, devaition is binded to radius. When radius increases, deviation
        is automatically increased linearly. With the radius value of 8, the
        deviation default value becomes approximately 2.7034. This value
        produces a compromise between the blur quality and overall blurriness.

    /*!
        This property defines the blur behavior near the edges of the item,
        where the pixel blurring is affected by the pixels outside the source
        edges.

        If the property is set to \c true, the pixels outside the source are
        interpreted to be transparent, which is similar to OpenGL
        clamp-to-border extension. The blur is expanded slightly outside the
        effect item area.

        If the property is set to \c false, the pixels outside the source are
        interpreted to contain the same color as the pixels at the edge of the
        item, which is similar to OpenGL clamp-to-edge behavior. The blur does
        not expand outside the effect item area.
