The names of properties of GEGL operations are as far as I am
concerned API, when creating a user interface in a photo manipulation
application like GIMP, f-spot or other applications on top it would be
the responsibility of the programmer to map the scientific terms used
to describe the properties to sliders that maybe uses terms more
useful to a casual non expert image processing person. Using the
standard deviation instead of an approximate radius of the gaussian
blur is much more mathematically correct and is also the way the SVG
1.2 filter specification specifies the parameters for a gaussian blur.
