Bug Description
Lots of filters needs extra space around the bounding box (for blurring or offseting).
For now, inkscape UI only allows us to define the width and height as %.
% are fine because you don't have to care about the size of selected object.
but px are fine when you want to express the extraspace needed.
Could the ui been reworked so that we could mix up % and px in "expression" ?
Typically I would use "100% + 2 * x px" for a blur of size x (or a matrix of size 2x+1, or an offset of 2x px)
If it's too diffcult to add an expression evaluator could we at least have extra fields to specify some additionnal spacing in px ?
Why that ?
Right now some filters are clipped when applied on small objects.
On the opposite a lot of CPU power could be wasted because the width settings are set too high.
Proposed UI
coordinates : 0 0 offset: -5px -5px
dimensions : 1 1 offset: 10 px 10px
if bbox of object is 200,100 then filter would be
filter x="-5%" y="-2.5%" width="110%" height="105%" primitiveUnits=
