The scale attribute defines the displacement scale factor to be used on a {{SVGElement("feDisplacementMap")}} filter primitive. The amount is expressed in the coordinate system established by the {{SVGAttr("primitiveUnits")}} attribute on the {{SVGElement("filter")}} element.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
html,
body,
svg {
height: 100%;
}
<svg viewBox="0 0 480 220" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="displacementFilter" x="-20%" y="-20%" width="140%" height="140%">
<feTurbulence
type="turbulence"
baseFrequency="0.05"
numOctaves="2"
result="turbulence" />
<feDisplacementMap in2="turbulence" in="SourceGraphic" scale="5" />
</filter>
<filter id="displacementFilter2" x="-20%" y="-20%" width="140%" height="140%">
<feTurbulence
type="turbulence"
baseFrequency="0.05"
numOctaves="2"
result="turbulence" />
<feDisplacementMap in2="turbulence" in="SourceGraphic" scale="50" />
</filter>
<circle cx="100" cy="100" r="80" filter="url(#displacementFilter)" />
<circle cx="340" cy="100" r="80" filter="url(#displacementFilter2)" />
</svg>
{{EmbedLiveSample("Example", "480", "200")}}
<number>
