<feMerge>

The <feMerge> SVG element allows filter effects to be applied concurrently instead of sequentially. This is achieved by other filters storing their output via the result attribute and then accessing it in a <feMergeNode> child.

Usage context

Categories	Filter primitive element
Permitted content	Any number of the following elements, in any order: `<feMergeNode>`

    <feOffset in="SourceGraphic" dx="60" dy="60" />
    <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="5" result="blur2" />
    <feMerge>
