Similar functionality to AE, and also Figma’s native Sweep functionality with Ellipses, the ability to trim any path’s Start and/or End points would allow for more optimized design and prototyping. Some examples:

  • Elegant design/prototyping of custom bar and line charts as well as interactive sliders (RN my adjustable horizontal charts and sliders components are leveraging AutoLayout right padding to adjust a stroke set to Fill)
  • More advanced/custom loader animations
  • Easily make drawn path animations

Thanks for the feedback, @Joey_Brennan!

We’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.

I’ve always wanted this, it would really make prototyping all sorts of animations so much easier in Figma!

There’s a plugin I use for that called " Variable width Stroke".

Bumping this. Trim path from one start of a variable to a second variable with an end path would be killer.
