Comment 4 for bug 170683

From duplicate bug #189724:

I'm requesting the ability to have a variable stroke width along a path. Many designers seek this ability but so far no programs do this effectively. I'm suggesting the ability to set the stroke of each node allowing for complete control over the thickness of a line along its path. For example a strait line with 2 points could have point A set to a stroke of 5 and point B set to a stroke of 1 and would taper the line creating a smoothe transition between the 2 points.

here is a more visual example of what I'm suggesting:
