[Tex/LaTex] Fade draw and fill in TikZ

Question

In TikZ one can fade objects using the fadings library.
I want to fill and draw a circle and fade the whole object.
However, the fade option only affects the filling.

MWE:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fadings}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\filldraw[color = black, fill = blue, path fading = west] (0, 0) circle (1.0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Is there a way to fade the circle and the filling?

Answer 1

like this?

you shouldn't explicit declare draw color:

\documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{fadings}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\filldraw[very thick, fill = blue, path fading = west] (0, 0) circle (1.0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
