Engineer's Guide to Figma

Figma is a versatile design tool that operates entirely in-browser, distinguishing it from traditional desktop-installed software. It is primarily used for vector drawing, allowing for scalable designs that maintain clarity at any size and can incorporate bitmap images, though large images are discouraged for performance reasons. Figma offers two main views: canvas view for creating designs and prototype view for interactive or navigable screen collections. Users can navigate these views using various tools and shortcuts, and commenting is facilitated for collaborative feedback. The software supports real-time collaboration and includes built-in design specs, eliminating the need for third-party plugins, and allows for easy export of work in multiple formats. Figma's features, such as Auto Layout and FigJam, enhance Roboflow's product design process, making it an integral and continually evolving part of their workflow.
