Gradient along a path
-
Is possible to have a gradient follow a stroke? Typically, you'd have to create a small sphere, apply a gradient to it, assign it to a path, and apply an object blend mode (smooth or steps), to get this effect. The problem with this approach, besides it involving extra steps, is that the end result would be uniform thickness.
The effect I was hoping to accomplish is possible inside Illustrator.

@rodbot When selecting a gradient for the stroke in the Gradient panel, you can select the stroke mode in the Stroke field
