How to spell
How do you spell diagonal?
Diagonal is spelled D-I-A-G-O-N-A-L. A diagonal line runs at an angle rather than straight across or down, and repeated diagonals can make a tile’s rhythm unusually visible.

All questions →How can you make a repeating pattern look less repetitive?
A repeat becomes obvious when the eye finds a landmark and predicts where it will return. You can weaken that prediction by varying visual weight inside the tile, avoiding accidental paths, increasing the repeat where appropriate, and checking the whole field rather than polishing one isolated square.
How do you use a seamless pattern in Figma?
Figma is not a surface-design application, but it can use a licensed seamless tile in interface mockups, presentations, packaging concepts, and design systems. The most reliable approach depends on whether you need a flexible visual background or a precisely controlled exported repeat.
