<feMerge>

The <feMerge> SVG element allows filter effects to be applied concurrently instead of sequentially. This is achieved by other filters storing their output via the result attribute and then accessing it in a <feMergeNode> child.

    <feOffset in="SourceGraphic" dx="60" dy="60" />
    <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="5" result="blur2" />
    <feMerge>
      <feMergeNode in="blur2" />
      <feMergeNode in="SourceGraphic" />
    </feMerge>
  </filter>

  <rect x="40" y="40" width="100" height="100"
