How Do You Add Integrals in Figma?

Last updated on November 25, 2022 @ 12:42 pm

Integrals are a mathematical concept that allows us to find the area under a curve. In Figma, we can use integrals to calculate the area of a selected region.

To add integrals in Figma, we first need to select the region that we want to find the area of. We can do this by clicking on the ‘Select’ tool and then clicking and dragging around the region. Once we have the region selected, we can go to the ‘Insert’ menu and click on ‘Integral’.

This will insert an integral symbol into our document. We can then click on the symbol and type in the equation that we want to use to calculate the area. For example, if we want to find the area under the curve f(x) = x^2, we would type in ‘integral (f(x) dx)’ into the symbol.

Once we have typed in the equation, we can press Enter and Figma will calculate the area for us. In this case, it would return 4/3 as the answer.

We can also use integrals to calculate the length of a curve. To do this, we need to select the curve that we want to find the length of and then go to the ‘Insert’ menu and click on ‘Integral’.

This will insert an integral symbol into our document. We can then click on the symbol and type in the equation that we want to use to calculate the length.

For example, if we want to find the length of the curve f(x) = x^2, we would type in ‘integral (sqrt(1+(f'(x))^2) dx)’ into the symbol. Once we have typed in the equation, we can press Enter and Figma will calculate the length for us. In this case, it would return 8/3 as the answer.

PRO TIP: Adding integrals in Figma can be tricky and may result in unexpected results. Make sure to carefully test your design before using this method in production.
