This filter was built to smooth the picture in the vertical axis.
There is a strength configuration where the proportion of the bleding can be adjusted.
On version 0.2 a bug on script parameters loading was corrected. On version 0.3 a bug with uneven (modulo<>0) widths was corrected.

Technical note: each pixel is blended with the nearest ones in the same column and the contribution values for the four strengths are 1/16,14/16,1/16; 1/8,6/8,1/16; 3/16,10/16,3/16; 1/4,1/2,1/4;


Strength 0 Strength 1 Strength 2 Strength 3 Strength 4
