The blur() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to blur the image.
Syntax:
blur(radius, sigma, channel)Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and defined below:
- radius: This parameter is used to specify the value of radius which is the size of the gaussian aperture.
- sigma: This parameter is used to specify the value of sigma which is the standard deviation of the gaussian filter.
- channel: This parameter is used to specify the value of image channel as undefined, ‘red’, ‘gray’, ‘cyan’, ‘green’, ‘magenta’, ‘blue’, ‘yellow’, ‘alpha’, ‘opacity’, ‘black’, ‘index’, ‘composite_channels’, ‘all_channels, ‘sync_channels’, ‘default_channels’.
Return Value: This function returns the Wand ImageMagick object.

Example 1:
Python3
# Import library from Image from wand.image import Image
# Import the image with Image(filename = '../geeksforgeeks.png' ) as image:
# Clone the image in order to process
with image.clone() as blur:
# Invoke blur function with radius as 10, sigma as 12
# channel as 'Green'
blur.blur( int ( 10 ), int ( 12 ), 'Green' )
# Save the image
blur.save(filename = 'blur1.jpg' )
|
Output:
Example 2:
Python3
# Import libraries from the wand from wand.image import Image
from wand.drawing import Drawing
from wand.color import Color
with Drawing() as draw: # Set Stroke color the circle to black
draw.stroke_color = Color( 'black' )
# Set Width of the circle to 2
draw.stroke_width = 1
# Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)'
draw.fill_color = Color( 'white' )
# Invoke Circle function with center at 50, 50 and radius 25
draw.circle(( 200 , 200 ), # Center point
( 100 , 100 )) # Perimeter point
# Set the font style
draw.font = '../Helvetica.ttf'
# Set the font size
draw.font_size = 30
with Image(width = 400 , height = 400 , background = Color( '# 45ff33' )) as pic:
# Set the text and its location
draw.text( int (pic.width / 3 ), int (pic.height / 2 ), 'GeeksForGeeks !' )
# Draw the picture
draw(pic)
# Invoke blur function with radius as 200, sigma as 5
# Channel as red
pic.blur( int ( 200 ), int ( 5 ), 'Green' )
# Save the image
pic.save(filename = 'blur2.jpg' )
