The circleFrostedEffectShadow Folder

This folder contains SVG documents that are based on polar equations combined with a shadow-enhanced frosted shading effect. The ellipses are rendered with a multi-stop radial gradient that is defined in an SVG defs element (at the bottom of each document) that creates a frosted effect. The files in this folder illustrate the fact that a simple code change (i.e., adding a shadow) can create a rich visual effect. The example from this folder is the SVG document .
