Tapered Patterns/Shape

Hi,

I am trying to find a technique to do with drawing patterns or objects within Illustrator where an object I am drawing will taper from large at one end and tiny at the other but scaling the object proportionately along the distance of the shape. Below is the link to what I am trying to achieve"Done by someone else I do not know". It is similar to the Variable width tool, however if you were to use the width tool it would distort and stretch or compressor the object.

Dropbox - Adobe

Hope this makes sense.
