Why does Figma use angles in degrees to define linear gradients instead of keywords like 'to right' or 'to bottom'?
AAngles are faster to type than keywords
BAngles provide precise control over gradient direction in any orientation
CKeywords are harder to understand for beginners
DKeywords cause rendering errors in browsers
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand gradient direction control

    Angles allow specifying any direction from 0 to 360 degrees, offering precision.

  2. Step 2: Compare with keywords

    Keywords limit directions to fixed options like right or bottom, less flexible.

  3. Final Answer:

    Angles provide precise control over gradient direction in any orientation -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Angles = precise gradient direction control [OK]
Quick Trick: Angles allow any direction, keywords are limited [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking keywords are simpler or better
  • Assuming angles cause errors
  • Believing angles are just for speed
