  54.           The IIR Gaussian Blur plug-in acts on each pixel of the
  55.           active layer or selection, setting its Value to the average
  56.           of all pixel Values present in a radius defined in the
  57.           dialog. A  higher Value will produce a higher amount of
  58.           blur. The blur can be set to act in one direction more than
  59.           the other by  clicking the Chain Button so that it is
  60.           broken, and altering the radius. GIMP supports two
  61.           implementations of Gaussian Blur: IIR G.B. and RLE G.B. They
  62.           both produce the same results, but each one can be faster in
  63.           some cases.
