I was wondering if it is possible to let the line's width dynamically increase from its start to its end. I found such an illustration in a book:
I am a TikZ noob but what I came up with would be the following starting point:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{darkred}{cmyk}{0,.81,.75,.37}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\coordinate (S) at (1,1);
\coordinate (E) at (5,1);
\draw [darkred,dashed,bend angle=30,bend left,->,>=triangle 45,line width=1.5pt] (S) to (E);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
which yields the following result:
Does anybody know if it is possible to achive the desired result?
