I would like to know whether it is possible to create a circular gradient or alternative one which follows a given path in Inkscape.
This is the effect I would like to create:
Circular gradient http://liamlime.com/dump/laptop/2015-09-20/2015-09-20_21-28-51.png
To generate this image I created lots of small wedges and manually set each individual wedge's alpha value.
This question was answered for Adobe Illustrator in How to apply a gradient effect for a particular circular path? and for Gimp in Create a clockwise gradient in GIMP, however I was unable to find an answer for Inkscape.
Thank you.

feature. See this tutorial. I'm hesitant to post this as an answer, since link-only answers are not acceptable, but I'm not sure if it's OK to reproduce (and cite) that tutorial as an answer.
