Yes, you can create a Topographic Map view in SwiftUI. SwiftUI provides a range of tools and APIs that can help you achieve this, including custom shaders, mesh gradients, and canvas for high-performance imperative drawing.
For example, in the session Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI, it is demonstrated how to use mesh gradients and custom shaders to create advanced graphic effects. This can be particularly useful for creating the layered and gradient effects typical of topographic maps.
Additionally, SwiftUI's new graphics capabilities, such as the mix modifier on colors and the ability to precompile shaders, can help you create smooth and performant visual effects, as mentioned in the session What’s new in SwiftUI.
Here are some relevant sessions that might help you get started:
These sessions cover the necessary tools and techniques to create custom visual effects, which can be adapted to create a topographic map view in SwiftUI.
