For instance the dropshadow operation is a combination of the operations gegl:over, gegl:translate, gegl:opacity, gegl:gaussian-blur, gegl:src-in and gegl:color. (unsharp mask is another example of such a composite meta op). At the moment these operations are written in .C, but it would be possible to define them as XML or some other serialization format. Editing such operations could also be done in a visual way using nodes connected with hoses or other metaphors. There is a bug in GEGL about loading such operations from non C files: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465743 -- «The future is already here.
