I am a software developer facing a rare need to create single PNG icon. It should be a horizontal gradient (white to transparent) rectangle stretched to the right - so that right edge of the rectange will become quadratic bezier curve. The gradient should also be stetched.
I thought this is very simple to do but I just spend a day on it without any progress. I haven't found graphical editor that would support non-linear (non-affine) transformation of shapes.
I would be very gratefull for any help.
EDIT: Here is sketch of what is my goal:

Using Illustrator:
Draw a rectangle with a certain color.
Draw an ellipse behind it, with the same color but with transparency set to 0%.
Select both and choose Object > Blend > Make.
The default setting seems to be a bit tight. With the object still selected, choose Object > Blend > Blend Options.
Switch Preview on to see what you are doing. Select "Specified Steps" - you will see the default value "1" appear - and enter a sufficiently high number. My sample image below uses 30 for clarity; you may want a higher number.
Select the Artboard tool (or press Shift+O) and resize the artboard to the size of your object (newer versions of Illustrator should have a shortcut for this under the Object menu).
Choose File > Save for Web & Devices to export a PNG.
