uniform_filter(input, size=3, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, origin=0)
The multidimensional filter is implemented as a sequence of 1-D uniform filters. The intermediate arrays are stored in the same data type as the output. Therefore, for output types with a limited precision, the results may be imprecise because intermediate results may be stored with insufficient precision.
The input array.
The sizes of the uniform filter are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case the size is equal for all axes.
The array in which to place the output, or the dtype of the returned array. By default an array of the same dtype as input will be created.
The mode parameter determines how the input array is extended when the filter overlaps a border. By passing a sequence of modes with length equal to the number of dimensions of the input array, different modes can be specified along each axis. Default value is 'reflect'. The valid values and their behavior is as follows:
'reflect' (d c b a | a b c d | d c b a)
The input is extended by reflecting about the edge of the last pixel. This mode is also sometimes referred to as half-sample symmetric.
'constant' (k k k k | a b c d | k k k k)
The input is extended by filling all values beyond the edge with the same constant value, defined by the cval parameter.
'nearest' (a a a a | a b c d | d d d d)
The input is extended by replicating the last pixel.
'mirror' (d c b | a b c d | c b a)
The input is extended by reflecting about the center of the last pixel. This mode is also sometimes referred to as whole-sample symmetric.
'wrap' (a b c d | a b c d | a b c d)
The input is extended by wrapping around to the opposite edge.
For consistency with the interpolation functions, the following mode names can also be used:
'grid-constant'
This is a synonym for 'constant'.
'grid-mirror'
This is a synonym for 'reflect'.
'grid-wrap'
This is a synonym for 'wrap'.
Value to fill past edges of input if mode is 'constant'. Default is 0.0.
Controls the placement of the filter on the input array's pixels. A value of 0 (the default) centers the filter over the pixel, with positive values shifting the filter to the left, and negative ones to the right. By passing a sequence of origins with length equal to the number of dimensions of the input array, different shifts can be specified along each axis.
Filtered array. Has the same shape as input.

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
