Here’s the code that produced Figure 13-3:<style>p {height: 350px; width: 450px; font-size: 44pt;filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MotionBlur(Strength=
5,Direction=120);}The subtle effect in Figure 13-3 is achieved through restraint. I kept the
strengthat a low value of 5. To see what happens if you use this filter as
intended, look at Figure 13-4:The result shown in Figure 13-4 is achieved with this code (note I increased
the strengthto a value of 45 ):Figure 13-4:
