Is there a way to do this in inkscape?
For example, is there a way in Inkscape to do something similar to ht tp://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4163057, but using the Inkscape UI, not writing code?
Not easily. If the line doesn't cross itself one can use a mesh gradient as the attached SVG shows (note meshes are not supported by any browsers and one must use the trunk version of Inkscape to render the attached SVG).
Inkscape can create a number of different configurations of meshes automatically (circular, star, etc.) but not along paths. I've actually been thinking recently about how to automate meshes along paths.
