How can I convert shadows from Figma to Webflow? In Figma, shadows have parameters X and Y, while in Webflow, there is only Distance with Angles. How can I determine the angle from X and Y in Figma for Webflow? Thank you.
To convert shadows from Figma to Webflow, you need to understand how the shadow properties work in both platforms.
In Figma, shadows are defined by two parameters, X and Y. X represents the horizontal offset of the shadow from the element, and Y represents the vertical offset. Additionally, Figma allows you to adjust the blur radius and spread radius of the shadow.
Webflow, on the other hand, uses a different shadow implementation. In Webflow, shadows are defined by a single "Distance" value and an angle. The distance represents the overall size of the shadow, while the angle determines the direction from which the light source is casting the shadow.
To determine the angle from the X and Y values in Figma for Webflow, you can use the following steps:
1. Calculate the hypotenuse of the X and Y values using the Pythagorean theorem (c² = a² + b²). This will give you the distance of the shadow from the element.
2. To determine the angle, you can use the arctangent function (atan2) in programming. The arctangent function takes the Y value as the first argument and the X value as the second argument. It returns the angle in radians.
3. Convert the angle from radians to degrees if necessary. In Webflow, angles are typically specified in degrees.
Once you have the distance and angle values, you can apply them in Webflow's shadow settings. Set the "Distance" value to match the calculated distance from Figma. Then, use the angle value to set the direction from which the light source is casting the shadow. Webflow's angle settings start from the right (0 degrees) and rotate in a counter-clockwise direction.
It's important to note that the visual appearance of shadows can vary between Figma and Webflow due to differences in rendering and antialiasing. So, you may need to fine-tune the shadow settings in Webflow to achieve the desired result.
I hope this helps you convert shadows from Figma to Webflow effectively. Happy designing!
