createSlice

Creates a new slice object.

Signature

createSlice(): SliceNode

Remarks

By default, the new node is parented under figma.currentPage.

Create a slice and export as PNG

(async () => {
  const slice = figma.createSlice()

  // Move to (50, 50)
  slice.x = 50
  slice.y = 50

  // Set size to 500 x 500
  slice.resize(500, 500)

  // Export a PNG of this region of the canvas
  const bytes = await slice.exportAsync()

  // Add the image onto the canvas as an image fill in a frame
  const image = figma.createImage(bytes)
  const frame = figma.createFrame()
  frame.resize(500, 500)
  frame.fills = [{
    imageHash: image.hash,
    scaleMode: "FILL",
    scalingFactor: 1,
    type: "IMAGE",
  }]
})()
