Can this also be done with a calligraphic pen? (I.e., pen with a slanted stroke). I'm asking because this is a style that is used a lot in cartoons.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You could create stroke-width-ratios by applying SVG transformations to each path element, or groups of it. Then you have to compensate for the introduced transformation in the stroke path geometry itself. Example: http://codepen.io/mxfh/pen/RopMvr Kind of hacky, but this could be automated by evaluating the stroke transforms and applying the reverse transforms to source path geometry for compensation.
Wow, looks useful! I didn't realize that it could actually be that simple :) But of course applying the inverse transform to arbitrary paths could still be a tricky mathematical operation.
