What do you call this effect ?

[Espermaschine]

Its based on some kind of mathematical function, right ?
Exponential growth ?

Scaling the width based on some function? Don't know if it has the name.

[Ofnuts]

Actually very linear... The tops of the black strips are evenly spaced 40px part and the width of the white strips grows by 3 pixels.

Of course the true question is: is there a way to produce this by a clever use of one of the marvelous Ofnutsian scripts? And of course the answer is yes:

• Create a path that delimits a wide strip at one end
  
• Create a path that delimits a narrow strip at the other end
  
• Use path-inbetweener to generate the intermediate strips
  
• Merge the visible paths, path-to-selection, bucket-fill

I love it when the answer is of course yes !!


So when you say path, you mean rectangular path, right ?
And the inbetweener does an interpolation.

Thats how i made it in Inkscape. But the Interpolation Extension has its problems.

[Ofnuts]

Yes, a path with a rectangular stroke.

[Espermaschine]

But this will only work properly when the space between the two rectangles has the correct size, right.

I always try to think how i would draw this on paper.
You would have to divide the paper equally and then make each line increasingly thicker.

So is there a specific name, other than perhaps line gradient ??

[grit]

Can you make it that the lengths of the paths are getting smaller too ?

[Espermaschine]

length ? like a pyramid ?

Just make a triangle selection and intersect it with the path selection?
