    \brief Generates a halo like glow around the source item.

    The Glow effect blurs the alpha channel of the source and colorizes it
    with \l {Glow::color}{color} and places it behind the source, resulting in a halo or glow
    around the object. The quality of the blurred edge can be controlled using
    \l samples and \l radius and the strenght of the glow can be changed using
    \l spread.

    \row
        \li \image Original_butterfly_black.png
        \li \image Glow_butterfly.png
    \endtable

    The glow is created by blurring the image live using a gaussian blur.
    Performing blur live is a costly operation. Fullscreen gaussian blur with
    even a moderate number of samples will only run at 60 fps on highend
    graphics hardware.

    \section1 Example

    The following example shows how to apply the effect.

    /*!
        Radius defines the softness of the glow. A larger radius causes the
        edges of the glow to appear more blurry.

        Depending on the radius value, value of the \l{Glow::samples}{samples}
        should be set to sufficiently large to ensure the visual quality.

        The ideal blur is acheived by selecting \c samples and \c radius such
        that \c {samples = 1 + radius * 2}, such as:

        \table
        \header \li Radius             \li Samples
        \row    \li 0 \e{(no blur)}    \li 1

        \row    \li 3                  \li 7
        \endtable

        By default, the property is set to \c {floor(samples/2)}.

        This property defines how many samples are taken per pixel when edge
        softening blur calculation is done. Larger value produces better
        quality, but is slower to render.

        Ideally, this value should be twice as large as the highest required
        radius value plus one, such as:

        By default, the property is set to \c 9.

        cause the underlying OpenGL shaders to be recompiled.
