What do you call this effect ? - Espermaschine - 12-19-2017
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.
RE: What do you call this effect ? - Ofnuts - 12-19-2017
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.

Yes, a path with a rectangular stroke.
RE: What do you call this effect ? - Espermaschine - 12-20-2017
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 ??
RE: What do you call this effect ? - grit - 12-20-2017
Can you make it that the lengths of the paths are getting smaller too ?
RE: What do you call this effect ? - Espermaschine - 12-20-2017
length ? like a pyramid ?

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