<h2 id="abstract">Abstract</h2>
<p>
SVG is a language for describing vector graphics, but it is typically rendered
to a display or some form of print medium. The SVG Compositing module adds support
for the full range of Porter and Duff operators <a href="#ref-PorterDuff">[PorterDuff]</a>
and blending modes. The module allows for raster and vector objects to be combined to
produce eye catching effects.
</p>
<p>
This document defines the markup used by SVG Compositing for display and printing
environments. It explains the technical background and gives guidelines on how to
use the SVG Compositing specification with the SVG 1.1 Full and SVG 1.2 Tiny
specifications and other SVG modules.

<p>
<em>Conformance statements in this document are marked as normative, and all equations in
this document are normative. All other content is informative.</em> This document contains
explicit conformance criteria that overlap with some RNG definitions in requirements. If
there is any conflict between the two, the explicit conformance criteria are the definitive
reference.

By definition compositing is the process by which the colors of objects (and
their surrounding regions) are combined together. In addition to its regular
color values (such as red, green, and blue), an object may contain a channel
to represent the transparency of the color. This channel is commonly known
as an alpha channel and is often said to represent the 'opacity' of an object.
In effect the opacity of an object controls how much of the object's color is
used when compositing.
</p>
<p>
Compositing involving the alpha channel is referred to alpha compositing. By
default SVG Full 1.1 <a href="#ref-SVG11Full">[SVG11]</a> and SVG Tiny 1.2
<a href="#ref-SVG12Tiny">[SVGT12]</a> both use
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/painting.html#CompositingSimpleAlpha">Simple Alpha Compositing</a>
that gives a resultant effect of overlaying the object on to the background.
If the overlayed object contains transparency, the color of the background
may show through the overlayed object.
</p>
<p>
The SVG Compositing Module attempts to addresses compositing requirement for
graphical features outlined in SVG 1.1/1.2/2.0 Requirements document
<a href="#ref-SVGRequirements">[SVGReqs]</a>. To achieve this requirement
the SVG Compositing Module extends the Simple Alpha Compositing model in SVG
Full 1.1 <a href="#ref-SVG11Full">[SVG11]</a> and SVG Tiny 1.2
<a href="#ref-SVG12Tiny">[SVGT12]</a>. This SVG module supports the
following clipping/masking features:
</p>
<ul><li>
advanced alpha compositing, which may be used each time a new element is placed on the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/intro.html#TermCanvas"><span class="svg-term">canvas</span></a>.
The operation specified determines the combination of the source color and
alpha, and the destination color and alpha.
</li><li>
clipping paths, which use any combination of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/paths.html#PathElement"><span class="element-name">‘path’</span></a>,
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/text.html#TextElement"><span class="element-name">‘text’</span></a> and basic shapes to serve as the outline of a
1-bit mask (in the absence of anti-aliasing), where everything on the "inside" of
the outline is allowed to show through but everything on the outside is masked out
</li><li>
masks, which are container elements which can contain graphics elements or other
container elements which define a set of graphics that is to be used as a
semi-transparent mask for compositing foreground objects into the current background.
</li></ul>
<div class="note">
Masking with an element containing only color components with full luminance
(e.g. r=g=b=1) will produce the equivalent result to compositing using the
<strong>src-in</strong> or <strong>dst-in</strong> operators.
</div>
<h2 id="terms">2 Terms Used in This Specification</h2>
<p><em>This section in normative.</em></p>
<dl><dt id="term-group_alpha">group alpha</dt><dd>
The group alpha is a single channel offscreen buffer that is typically
created in-memory when a container element with nested graphical
elements is encountered. The group alpha buffer is used to track
percentage of the background in the
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a>
buffer. When the
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a>
is composited on to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/intro.html#TermCanvas"><span class="svg-term">canvas</span></a>,
the group alpha is used to ensure that the correct amount of the
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a>
is present in the final result.
</dd><dt id="term-group_image">group image</dt><dd>
The group image is an offscreen buffer that is typically created
in-memory when a container element with nested graphical elements is
encountered. Initialisation of a group image buffer is controlled by
the <a href="#enable-background-property"><span class="prop-name">‘enable-background’</span></a>
property. Elements nested within the container element are rendered into
the group image buffer. The group is then composited on to the canvas.
</dd><dt id="term-painted_region">painted region</dt><dd>
The host language is reponsible for defining the painted region represented by each element.
<p>
For SVG <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/intro.html#TermShape">shapes</a>
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/text.html#TextElement">text</a>,
the <a href="#term-painted_region"><span class="comp-op-term">painted region</span></a> is the union of
fill and stroke regions producing a resultant outline that represents the canvas area painted by the
object regardless of any opacity values applied to the object. When calculating
the <a href="#term-painted_region"><span class="comp-op-term">painted region</span></a>
of an object the user agent must use all
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-SVG11-20100622/painting.html">fill and stroke</a>
properties to determine the final painted region. The fill and stroke values of
elements that make up the markers placed on shape must contribute to the painted region of an object.
</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul><li>
If an object contains computed <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘fill’</span></a> value <span class="prop-value">#FFF</span>, then all painted
pixels of the object contribute to the object's painted region even if it has a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillOpacityProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘fill-opacity’</span></a> of
<span class="prop-value">0</span>.
</li><li>
If an object contains computed <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘fill’</span></a> value of <span class="prop-value">none</span> and a dashed stroke
defined by <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#StrokeDasharrayProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘stroke-dasharray’</span></a>, then its painted region will only be the pixels touched by the dashes
in the computed stroke.
</li><li>
If a path contains a computed <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘fill’</span></a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘stroke’</span></a> value of <span class="prop-value">none</span> but
contains markers along it, then the painted region will only be the pixels touched by the computed <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘fill’</span></a>
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#FillProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘stroke’</span></a> values of the elements that make up the markers along the path.
</li></ul>
<p>
For SVG <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/struct.html#ImageElement">images</a>
and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/multimedia.html#VideoElement">videos</a>,
if the computed value of the reference points to a valid resource, the
painted region is the bounds of the object. Otherwise, the object has no painted region.
</p>
<p>
For SVG <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-SVG11-20100622/filters.html">filters</a>, the painted region
is the object's painted region that references the filter.
</p>
</dd></dl>
<h2 id="alphaCompositing">3 Alpha Compositing</h2>
<p>
As out lined in their paper <a href="#ref-PorterDuff">Compositing Digital Images</a>,
Thomas Porter and Tom Duff defined algebra expression for compositing. These expressions
resulted in what is known today as the twelve "Porter Duff" operators. The "Porter Duff"
operators define the results of mixing the four sub-pixel regions formed by the
overlapping of graphical objects that have an alpha channel value.
</p>
<p>
Graphics elements are composited onto the elements already rendered on the canvas
based on an extended Porter-Duff compositing model, in which the resulting color
and opacity at any given pixel on the canvas depend on the <a href="#comp-op-property"><span class="prop-name">‘comp-op’</span></a> specified.
The base set of 12 Porter-Duff operations shown below always result in a value between
zero and one, and as such, no clamping of output values is required.
</p>
<p>
In addition to the base set of 12 Porter-Duff operations, a number of blending operations
are supported. These blending operations are extensions of the base Porter-Duff
set and provide enhanced compositing behavior. The extended operations may result
in color and opacity values outside the range zero to one. The opacity value should
be clamped between zero and one inclusive, and the premultiplied color value should
be clamped between zero and the opacity value inclusive.
</p>
<p>
The following diagram shows the four different regions of a single pixel that are
considered when compositing.
</p>
<p>
<img src="resources/compregion.png" alt="Compositing regions - source and destination interaction"/>
</p>
<p>
Depending on the compositing operation the resultant pixel includes input from one
or more of the regions in the above diagram. For the regions where only source or
destination are present, a choice of including or not including the input is available.
For the region where both are present, various options are available for the combination
of input data.
</p>
<p>
For groups containing compositing operators, the operation used to composite the
group onto the canvas is the <a href="#comp-op-property"><span class="prop-name">‘comp-op’</span></a> property of the container element itself. Other
properties on container elements, such as <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#OpacityProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘opacity’</span></a>, specify operations that are performed
after the children have been combined and before the group is composited onto the
background. The <a href="#enable-background-property"><span class="prop-name">‘enable-background’</span></a> and <a href="#knock-out-property"><span class="prop-name">‘knock-out’</span></a>
properties specify the state the group buffer is initialized
to prior to use, any modification to the compositing of the group's children, and
in some cases a post rendering step to be performed after rendering the children
and prior to any other post rendering steps.
</p>
<p>
Implementation note: Various container elements calculate their bounds prior to
rendering. For example, rendering a group generally requires an off-screen buffer,
and the size of the buffer is determined by calculating the bounds of the objects
contained within the group. SVG 1.0 implementations generally calculated the bounds
of the group by calculating the union of the bounds of each of the objects within
the group. Depending on the compositing operations used to combine objects within
a group, the bounds of the group may be reduced, and so, reduce the memory requirements.
For example, if a group contains two objects - object A 'in' object B - then the
bounds of the group would be the intersection of the bounds of objects A and B as
opposed to the union of their bounds.
</p>
<p>
While container elements are defined as requiring a buffer to be generated, it is
often the case that a user agent using various optimizations can choose not to generate
this buffer. For example, a group containing a single object could be directly rendered
onto the background rather than into a buffer first.
</p>
<p>
The following variables are used to describe the components of the background, group
and extra opacity channel buffers. This definition list is normative.

<p>
The operation used to place objects onto the background is as follows:
</p>
<pre><code>
Dca' = f(Sc, Dc) × Sa × Da + Y × Sca × (1-Da) + Z × Dca × (1-Sa)
Da' = X × Sa × Da + Y × Sa × (1-Da) + Z × Da × (1-Sa)
</code></pre>
<p>
Depending on the compositing operation, the above equation is resolved into an equation
in terms of premultiplied values prior to rendering. The following are specified
for each compositing operation:
</p>
<pre><code>
X, Y, Z, f(Sc, Dc)
</code></pre>
<p>
defined as:
</p>
<dl><dt id="term-f_Sc_Dc">f(Sc,Dc)</dt><dd>The intersection of the opacity of the source and destination multiplied by some function of the color.

<p>
Depending on the compositing operation, each of the above values may or may not
be used in the generation of the destination pixel value.

Compositing an object effects all pixels on the canvas by compositing completely
transparent source onto the destination for areas not covered by the object. This
is the

Compositing an object only effects the pixels covered by the object as

<p>
Graphics elements where the <a href="#clip-to-self-property"><span class="prop-name">‘clip-to-self’</span></a> property is set to <span class="prop-value">object</span>
only effect the pixels within the extent of the element's <a href="#term-painted_region"><span class="comp-op-term">
painted region</span></a>. A clipping path can be created from an element's
<a href="#term-painted_region"><span class="comp-op-term">painted region</span></a> when performing a compositing
operation where <a href="#clip-to-self-property"><span class="prop-name">‘clip-to-self’</span></a> is set to <span class="prop-value">object</span>. When the element is composited
onto the canvas, it is composited through the generated clipping path and thus pixels outside of the extent of the
element remain unmodified.
</p>
<p>
Container elements where the <a href="#clip-to-self-property"><span class="prop-name">‘clip-to-self’</span></a> property is set to <span class="prop-value">object</span>
only effect the pixels within the extend of the container element. For example, if a container element contains two circles,
and the container element has the <a href="#clip-to-self-property"><span class="prop-name">‘clip-to-self’</span></a> property is set to <span class="prop-value">object</span>, then region
outside the circles is unaffected. To perform this operation, the user agent needs to keep track of the extent of each of the
elements within the container element and ensure that only the elements are modified. This can be produced by creating a clipping
path from each object's <a href="#term-painted_region"><span class="comp-op-term">painted region</span></a> and unioning the
clipping paths together to produce a resultant clipping path that defines the extent of the pixels covered by all the elements
within the container element. Where a container element contains nested container elements, the operation is performed within the
sub-container elements to produce the resultant clipping path. When the container element is composited onto the canvas, it is
composited through the resultant clipping path and thus pixels outside of the extent of the elements within the container remain
unmodified.

Most compositing operations do not remove the destination and as such for

</p>
<p>
When drawing elements within a container element with <a href="#enable-background-property"><span class="prop-name">‘enable-background’</span></a> set to <span class="prop-value">accumulate</span>, the standard
equations as listed below are used to draw the object into the
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a>.
Depending on the compositing operation, one of two operations listed below
are used to draw the object into the extra
<a href="#term-group_alpha"><span class="comp-op-term">group alpha</span></a>
buffer Da(d).
</p>
<p>
For the operations
<a href="#comp-op-clear"><span class="prop-value">clear</span></a>,
<a href="#comp-op-src"><span class="prop-value">src</span></a>,
<a href="#comp-op-src-in"><span class="prop-value">src-in</span></a>,
<a href="#comp-op-dst-in"><span class="prop-value">dst-in</span></a>,
<a href="#comp-op-src-out"><span class="prop-value">src-out</span></a> and
<a href="#comp-op-dst-atop"><span class="prop-value">dst-atop</span></a>:
</p>
<pre><code>
Da(d)' = 0
</code></pre>
<p>
For all other compositing operations:
</p>
<pre><code>
Da(d)' = Da(d) × (1 - Sa)
</code></pre>
<p>
Once the contents of a container element are rendered into the container element's
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a> buffer
and before operations such as <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#OpacityProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘opacity’</span></a>
or <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGFilter12/#FilterProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘filter’</span></a> effects
are applied to the buffer, the remaining background
(<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/intro.html#TermCanvas"><span class="svg-term">canvas</span></a>)
is removed from the container element's buffer using the following operations:
</p>
<pre><code>
Dca1' = Dca1 - Dca0 × Da1(d)
Da1' = Da1 - Da0 × Da1(d)
</code></pre>
<p>
At this point Da1(d) should be inverted. The inverted Da1(d) represents the amount
of data to be removed from the background when placing the container element onto
the background.
</p>
<pre><code>
Da1(d)' = 1 - Da1(d)
</code></pre>
<p>
The next operation to perform is the application of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/painting.html#OpacityProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘opacity’</span></a>
or <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGFilter12/#FilterProperty"><span class="prop-name">‘filter’</span></a> effects
to the container element's buffer. During this step, the operation(s) performed on
Da1 should also be performed on Da1(d).
</p>
<p>
When compositing the container element's
<a href="#term-group_image"><span class="comp-op-term">group image</span></a> buffer
onto the background, rather than the standard compositing operation listed above,
the following operations should be used:
</p>
<pre><code>
Dca0' = f(Dc1,Dc0) × Da1 × Da0 + Y × Dca1 × (1-Da0) + Z × Dca0 × (1-Da1(d))
Da0' = X × Da1 × Da0 + Y × Da1 × (1-Da0) + Z × Da0 × (1-Da1(d))
</code></pre>
<div class="note">
The last term in the above equations uses the Da(d) buffer rather than Da.
</div>
<p>
Filters have access to the nearest ancestor group's buffer through the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGFilter12/#BackgroundImage">
<span class="prop-value">BackgroundImage</span>
</a>
and
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGFilter12/#BackgroundAlpha">
<span class="prop-value">BackgroundAlpha</span>
</a>
images. The buffer created for the ancestor group element of the element
referencing the filter, is passed to the filter. Where no ancestors of the
element referencing the filter containing an <a href="#enable-background-property"><span class="prop-name">‘enable-background’</span></a>
property value of <span class="prop-value">new</span>, transparent black is
passed as input to the filter.
</p>
<p>
While container elements are defined as requiring a buffer to be generated, it is
often the case that a user agent using various optimizations can choose not to generate
this buffer. For example, a group containing a single object could be directly rendered
onto the background rather than into a buffer first.

For a complex group where the <a href="#knock-out-property"><span class="prop-name">‘knock-out’</span></a> property is
set to <span class="prop-value">replace</span>, the buffer is created. The initial contents
of the buffer and whether a secondary opacity channel is created depends on the value of

For each object within the container element, the object color and opacity replaces that

<p>
As discussed in the previous section, the bounds of the
parent container element can be optimized to save in memory usage and hence, pixel
writing requirements. Once the bounds of the parent container element have been
determined, each element can only affect the pixels within those bounds.
</p>
<div class="requirement" id="assert_CompOp">
A User Agent MUST effect the color and opacity of the objects within the container
element as specified by the <a href="#comp-op-property"><span class="prop-name">‘comp-op’</span></a> property.
</div>
<p>
The following operators change pixels where the source is transparent:
<span class="prop-value">clear</span>,
<span class="prop-value">src</span>,
<span class="prop-value">src-in</span>,
<span class="prop-value">dst-in</span>,
<span class="prop-value">src-out</span> and
<span class="prop-value">dst-atop</span>.
</p>
<p>
The user agent may be required to create a backing store in which
to generate a container element. The size of the backing store
for a container element using the default compositing operator
<span class="prop-value">src-over</span> is simply the union of
the bounds of the sub-elements of the container element. When
other compositing operators are used, the bounds of the container
element are determined using the compositing operator diagram
above. Starting with an empty bounds, the compositing operator
specifies that the bounds of each successive object within the
container element either replaces the result or is unioned
with the result or is intersected with the result. For most
compositing operators the bounds are unioned with the result. For
the <span class="prop-value">clear</span> composite the current
result is set to empty. For <span class="prop-value">src</span>,
<span class="prop-value">src-out</span> and <span class="prop-value">dst-atop</span>, the bounds are set to
the source bounds. For <span class="prop-value">dst</span>,
<span class="prop-value">dst-out</span> and
<span class="prop-value">src-atop</span>, the bounds are left
unchanged. For <span class="prop-value">src-in</span> and
<span class="prop-value">dst-in</span> the bounds are intersected
with the result.

The resultant color is the absolute difference between the source and destination colors.
The destination color is inverted when white is used. The destination color is preserved
when black is used.
</p>
<pre><code>
f(Sc,Dc) = abs(Dc - Sc)
X = 1
Y = 1
Z = 1
Dca' = abs(Dca × Sa - Sca × Da) + Sca × (1 - Da) + Dca × (1 - Sa)
= Sca + Dca - 2 × min(Sca × Da, Dca × Sa)
Da' = Sa + Da - Sa × Da
</code></pre>

The resultant color is similar to that of the
<span class="prop-value">difference</span> operation. However,
the <span class="prop-value">exclusion</span> resultant
color appears as a lower contrast than that of the
<span class="prop-value">difference</span> resultant color. The
destination color is inverted when white is used. The
destination color is preserved when black is used.
</p>
<pre><code>
f(Sc,Dc) = Sc + Dc - 2 × Sc × Dc
X = 1
Y = 1
Z = 1
Dca' = (Sca × Da + Dca × Sa - 2 × Sca × Dca) + Sca × (1 - Da) + Dca × (1 - Sa)
Da' = Sa + Da - Sa × Da
</code></pre>

These equations are approximations which are under review. Final equations may differ
from those presented here.

For many of the operators listed above, the destination is modified in regions of
the image where the source is completely transparent. Pixels that the source does
not touch are considered transparent, and as such may be modified, depending on
the compositing operation.
