In the developer's words
This plugin adds support for variable-width stroke to Figma. To use:
- Draw a stroke with the pen tool.
- Select the stroke.
- Run this plugin.
- Edit the stroke within the plugin window. This lets you adjust the stroke thickness.
Because Figma plugins cannot directly augment Figma's editing tools, variable-width stroke is only editable within this plugin's window. Once you edit an object using this plugin, the stroke will be "outlined" (i.e. be replaced by a fill) when you go back to Figma. It's still possible to edit the variable-width stroke object again after closing the plugin by selecting the object and re-running this plugin.
More detailed instructions are available in this plugin's help menu.
