Make sure you provide the option to set the matrix size, the divisor
and the levelling value as well. This will give a lot of
possibilities.

Those would be quite easy to do...but not in color_matrix. They should
all be possible with the specialized isosurface function idea though...

They are the raw, unclipped values. Maybe a clip_colors filter would be
useful, so different versions of each filter don't have to be made.

I already have a working version. The matrix dimensions can be whatever
you want, though odd numbers are preferred. The matrix does not have to
be square.

Not implemented yet, I got sidetracked with other filters. It is
planned, though.

Levelling value? I don't understand this one...

Perhaps something like this:
#declare ColoringFunction = function { x*.25+y*.6+z*.15 }
global_settings
{ post_process { pixel_color ColoringFunction(Red, Green, Blue) }
}
or:
#declare RedFunction = function { ... }
#declare GreenFunction = function { ... }
#declare BlueFunction = function { ... }
global_settings
{ post_process
{ pixel_color <RedFuntion(Red, Green, Blue),
GreenFunction(Red, Green, Blue),
BlueFuntion(Red, Green, Blue)>
}
}
or something similar.

What I was thinking of was something like this:
global_settings or camera {
post_process {
post_function < function {...red function...},
function {...green function...},
function {...blue function...} >
}
}
And there would be additional variables:
r, g, b - unclipped RGB colors.
x, y, z - intersection point.
u, v - UV coordinates.
depth - distance to intersection point.
inorm_x, inorm_y, inorm_z - surface normal at intersection point.
pnorm_x, pnorm_y, pnorm_z - perturbed surface normal.
dir_x, dir_y, dir_z - ray direction(if I succeed in adding it to
the available information).
You could use this filter to do the same thing as the color_matrix
filter, and just about anything else that doesn't require information on
other pixels:
post_function < function {r*AA + g+AB + b*AC},
function {r*BA + g+BB + b*BC},
function {r*CA + g+CB + b*CC} >
Another possibility would be to implement these variables as functions
taking two parameters(pixel coordinates), and add h and v variables for
pixel coordinates...the functions would return the information for the
specified pixel. This would be tremendously flexible, and would allow
blurring filters.

It's just a constant you add to the weighted sum before you divide it
by the divisor.

What is that supposed to do, other than just lightening or (with
negative values) darkening the image? Maybe I misunderstood you...but it
sounds like adding in a gray "pixel" with an intensity equal to the
levelling value.
It is implemented anyway...the final syntax is:
camera or global_settings {
post_process {
blur_matrix {xDim, yDim, Divisor, Levelling, < DATA >}
}
}

Glad you implemented it. Its purpose is to control contrast while the
divisor is used to control brightness (generally speaking). It is
expecially useful if the divisor differs from the sum of the cells of
the convolution matrix. For example this:
<0,1,0,
1,5,1,
0,1,0>
will make a slight blur with a divisor of 9. If you lower the divisor,
the image gets brighter. Adding an offset of about 0.8 puts the
brightness back to about where it was but with a much increased
contrast. It works in the reverse direction, too, with a higher
divisor and negative offset.

Ah, I see now! I hadn't thought of using it along with the divisor...
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm, now that I think of it...if I add "exponent" and "multiply"
filters...that could be probably be written using multiple filters:
post_process {
color_matrix < 0.3, 0.3, 0.3,
0.3, 0.3, 0.3,
0.3, 0.3, 0.3 >
exponent < 0.95, 1, 0.9>

}

post_process {
color_function < function {100*sin(r(h,v)*pi*3)},
function {100*cos(g(h,v)*pi*3)},
function {100*sin(b(h,v)*pi*3)} >

I don't know enough about the inner workings of isosurface functions to
do this last one, though.
One other thing that might be possible: some kind of heiarchical linking
of post_process filters. Instead of a simple list, you could have
several "branches" that are combined at the end. I am not sure if I am
up to coding this though. :-)
An example would be:
post_process {
average {
find_edges {...}
find_edges {...}
blur {...}
}
}
This would do each filter individually, and then average their results.
