surface (or plane)
Explanation:
As already answered, [surface] is probably the best translation, but depending on context, it could also be translated into [plane] which is also another commonly used terminology in relation to graphics.

Note that the portion, [FLにツラ] seems to have some correlation to the subject of construction (please see the web reference below). This brings up assumption this translation has something to do with construction as well. Being that there is little context to use, again, [surface] sounds good, but I would suggest looking at the entire document that is being translated to ensure that the [ツラ] here is properly translated (below is an interesting portion from the web reference which may help refine your translation here)

【ツラ】(面)
壁や床、部材などの表面のこと。
ツラを合わせると言ったら出っ張らない様一直線に仕上げるという意味。
（ツライチとも言う。クツズリをFLとツライチにするなどと使う）
