The <feMerge> SVG element allows filter effects to be applied concurrently instead of sequentially. The canonical implementation of <feMerge> is to render the entire effect into one RGBA layer, and then render the resulting layer on the output device.
Syntax:
<feMerge> ---- </feMerge>
Attributes : It does not contain any attribute.
Example 1:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<svg width="200" height="200">
<filter id="feOffset" x="-40" y="-20"
width="100" height="200">
<feOffset in="SourceGraphic" dx="60" dy="60" />
<feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="5" result="blur2" />
<feMerge>
<feMergeNode in="offsetBlur" />
<feMergeNode in="litPaint" />
</feMerge>
</filter>
<rect x="1" y="1" width="198" height="118"
fill="green" stroke="blue" />
<circle cx="100" cy="60" r="55" stroke="black"
stroke-width="3" fill="white" />
<g fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="Green" font-size="10"
