varying width lines

Post by ecoquant »

I'm interested in generating 2-D plots having curvilinear paths denoted by lines which have a varying width. The paths themselves are indicated point by point, and, for each point, there is a line width. Is there some facility in TikZ I can harness to produce a smoothed line with these characteristics?

I have found a solution exporting the processed data I have to files, and using Python's matplotlib module to do the plotting. It does support varying width lines.
