Rank

My Rank filter is a more advanced Erode<--Median-->Dilate.

The difference is: instead of just returning the median pixel value, I have a 'rank' slider. That makes the filter act like a Erode<--Median-->Dilate.

0.0 being the lowest value pixel in the kernel, 1.0 the highest. - at 0.5 (default) it returns the median pixel.

Furthermore, unlike Nuke's Median, I give full control over x & y.. you may even have a value of 0 in x or y! ;-)

update 1.2 - Fixed a simple mistake. Now it is centered on each given pixel.. for example: -size pixel +size. ie: size 0 = 1x1, size 1 = 3x3, size 2 = 5x5, ...size 5 = 11x11, etc..

update 1.3 - Now you can have an elliptical or rectangular shaped kernel. I've added a toggle to switch between the shapes.
