20.1.8.26 effectLst (Effect Container)

This element specifies a list of effects. Effects in an effectLst are applied in the default order by the rendering engine. The following diagrams illustrate the order in which effects are applied, both for shapes and for group shapes.

[Note: The output of many effects does not include the input shape. For effects that should be applied to the result of previous effects as well as the original shape, a container is used to group the inputs together. end note]

[Example: Outer Shadow is applied both to the original shape and the original shape's glow. The result of blur contains the original shape, while the result of glow contains only the added glow. Therefore, a container that groups the blur result with the glow result is used as the input to Outer Shadow. end example]
