filter

The filter attribute specifies the filter effects defined by the <filter> element that shall be applied to its element.

Note: As a presentation attribute, filter can be used as a CSS property. See CSS filter for further information.

As a presentation attribute, it can be applied to any element but it only has effect on container elements without the <defs> element, all graphics elements and the <use> element.
