Here is an example of using a gradient mesh. (For that appearance, a tricky and crude solution is using custom markers, as discussed here -not sure what happened to the embedded image.) You need to manually place mesh nodes one by one, there is no option to bend a gradient mesh along a path.

No update in the manual, may not make it into svg 2.0. There is no real documentation of it besides Xav's article I know of.
Thirdly, you can use mesh gradients -which are the most tedious editing-wise, and currently not part of the svg specs. This image was drawn with illustrator in the same vein -flat fills can be saved as eps too, so printing-wise this is the most "sturdy" you can get. You can generate a colourmap filter effect and apply it to a black to white gradient, or use the same extension to swap colours (just guessing here, haven't tried the latter though that option should work better certain cases). (The rearrange-restack extension may also come handy in the process to correct the z-ordering.)Ī two coloured gradient might not be fitting, but there are other ways to change it to a gradient you are after.
With that, you can fill the shapes in between with a "two colour gradient". Then, there is the extension to interpolate attribute within group. Haven't tried it yet, but it seems capable generating parallel paths upon a given original.
You can either use interpolation to draw these objects based on the original path -and an additional one-, or explore gcodetools. Other workaround is having the image built up by flat filled shapes over eachother.Ĭan use some automation here, but it's way more tedious than the previous option. Here is an example for such a blurred solution, which got a diffuse filter added in. That is the quickest workaround that has its limitations -no fill vector pdf-s, no accurate gradient steps, no resource-friendly rendering, no semi-transparent shapes, but it can be generated on any shape by an instant. With filtering you can build up a visual appearance of blurring the shape, utilizing its edges where the transparency drops.
