I just didn't translate it...
IMO we should avoid to copy comments from the source file if we don't
know what the author wants to tell us.
I also have a problem with another comment:
"[The result] looks even better when gradmapped with a suitable
gradient."
I guess "gradmapped" means "apply a gradient to something" (but what
is going to be "mapped"?).
<moan>
Is this a feature request and the author is talking to himself ("if
the filter could add a suitable gradient to the traces the result
would look even better")? ;-)
If applying a gradient to the filter's result is a trivial task, why
didn't the author add this feature. And if it's not trivial, why
should we add this comment to the docs?

Ok, new topic ("and now for something completely different"):
You have described the steps to achieve the filter effect. I like the
idea, I have tried the same for some of the alpha to logo filters.
It's a nice way to integrate some mini-tutorials, to explain how to do
something using the standard features/plugins.
However, I'm afraid many readers/users are not interested in these
details, especially when they are reading the docs for the first time.
So meanwhile I think we should move all these descriptions of filter
details/internals to separate <sect>ions at the end of the files. This
way, the most general, relevant and important information is at the
beginning, while towards the end the information is getting more
specific and detailed. (Only the really interested reader will scroll
down to the end of the page.)
Bye,
Ulf
