Understanding Radial Gradient Basics

Which statement best describes a radial gradient in Figma?

A A color transition that radiates outward from a central point in a circular or elliptical shape.

B A color transition that moves linearly from left to right across an object.

C A pattern of repeating stripes used as a fill style.

D A solid color fill with no transition or blending.

💡 Hint

Think about how colors spread from the center in a circle.

A radial gradient starts from a center point and spreads outward in a circular or elliptical shape, blending colors smoothly.

Identifying Radial Gradient Effects

Which of the following Figma fills shows a radial gradient effect?

A A triangle filled with a pattern of dots.

B A rectangle filled with a solid green color.

C A square filled with a linear gradient from red to yellow horizontally.

D A circle filled with a smooth color transition from white in the center to blue at the edges.

💡 Hint

Look for color changes spreading from the center outward.

Only option D describes a radial gradient where color changes radiate from the center outward.

Calculating Average Color Stops in Radial Gradient

Given a radial gradient with color stops at 0%, 50%, and 100%, what is the average position of the stops?

Figma

AveragePosition = AVERAGEX({0, 0.5, 1}, VALUE)

A 0.33

B 1

C 0.5

D 0

💡 Hint

Calculate the mean of the stop positions.

The average of 0, 0.5, and 1 is (0 + 0.5 + 1) / 3 = 0.5.

Modeling Radial Gradient Parameters in BI

Which data model structure best represents a radial gradient with multiple color stops for BI reporting?

A A table with columns: GradientID, StopPosition (0-1), ColorHex

B A flat table with only GradientID and a single ColorHex

C Separate tables for each color stop without a linking key

D A single column with concatenated color stop strings

💡 Hint

Think about how to store multiple stops per gradient efficiently.

Option A allows multiple stops per gradient with clear positions and colors, ideal for analysis.

Troubleshooting Radial Gradient Display Issue

A radial gradient in a BI dashboard is showing as a solid color instead of a smooth gradient. Which issue is most likely causing this?

A The dashboard theme disables all gradient fills.

B Only one color stop is defined, so no gradient transition occurs.

C The gradient angle is set incorrectly for radial gradients.

D The data model uses too many color stops causing rendering failure.

💡 Hint

Think about what happens if a gradient has only one color stop.

If only one color stop is defined, the fill appears as a solid color with no gradient effect.
