Each filter drives one to many output properties. No scaling or offsetting is implemented

<period> Complex Define a periodical input or output value. The phase width is defined by the
child elements <min> and <max> which are of type InputValue

This defines the input or output as a periodic value with a phase width of 360, like
the compass rose. Any value reaching the filter's input or leaving the filter at the
output will be transformed to fit into the given range by adding or substracting one phase
width of 360. Values of -270, 90 or 450 applied to this periodical element will allways
result in +90. A value of 630, 270 or -90 will be normalized to -90 in the given example.
