Even though both stops on this path gradient are set to full on black (R=0, G=0, B=0, A=255), still has fading effect

I set both stops of the gradient for a path to full-on black (R=0, G=0, B=0, A=255) so that there would be a solid, uniform stroke running along the path. Unfortunately, even with this setting, the line still "fades out."

Again, the gradient has only 2 stops. Each stop is set to the color (R=0, G=0, B=0, A=255). Why does the path still "fade out"?

Please see the attached file.

I want the path not to do any fading AT ALL and to have a uniform black line running along it. What more must I do to achieve this effect?

Quick idea: did you check that the gradient is applied to the stroke / or the fill (whichever shows here)?

Second idea: Zoom in. Is the thinner end really brighter or is it just thinner and thus *looks* brighter?

Third idea: Why are you using a gradient at all? You could just use a flat color instead to get your result (the button to the right of the x in the Fill+Stroke dialog).

Else: Please upload the file itself for us to be able to help you.

Please attach an example file, so we can examine.

Thanks, all. I went with a new path and it fixed it.

Any chance you drew the path with the Pen or Pencil, with a non-None option? If you've got a Triangle In or Out option, that's why it's fading out.
