"patterns to path" only streches pattern from endpoint to endpoint of path
I'm trying to stretch a long thin triangle along a path to create a sort of tapered path from end to end. I can manage, following the tutorials everywhere, to pattern a polygon along a path, with multiple copies repeated. I then switch the mode to single stretched, and it just joins the endpoints of my path. It will not follow the path, though it seems some users have mimicked Adobe's brushes by creating a shape and stretching it along the path to create an organic looking "stroke". I've tried the Effects>Generate from Path>Pattern along Path in Inkscape 0.46 also, in the same release, others recommend the Path>Path Effects>Pattern to Path route, which I have also tried numerous times. Neither way gives the result I'm looking for, and causes me great distress.
I can email a screen shot of my failed attempts either both dialouge box open to show that I'm not doing it wrong if necessary. Please explain. Thank you.
