In the context of SwiftUI and perceptual color, there are several new features and enhancements introduced at WWDC 2024. SwiftUI now supports mesh gradients, which are useful for creating dynamic backgrounds or adding visual distinction to surfaces. These gradients are made from a grid of points, each with an associated color, and SwiftUI interpolates between these colors to create a color fill. This allows for beautiful color effects and dynamic visual experiences.
Additionally, SwiftUI has introduced a new mix modifier on colors, allowing you to blend colors together by a specified amount. This enhances the ability to create visually appealing interfaces with smooth color transitions.
For more detailed information on these features, you can refer to the sessions:
- Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI (06:21)
- What’s new in SwiftUI (16:18)
These sessions cover the new graphics capabilities and color treatments available in SwiftUI.
