Swift Charts: Vectorized and Function Plots

Swift Charts has introduced several new features to enhance data visualization capabilities. Here are some key highlights:

  1. Function Plots: Swift Charts now supports plotting mathematical functions, allowing you to visualize beyond just data. You can create line plots for single functions and area plots to fill the area between two functions. This is particularly useful for data analysis, such as visualizing solar energy projects or plotting normal distribution curves.

  2. Parametric and Piecewise Functions: You can plot parametric functions where x and y are defined in terms of a third variable, t. Swift Charts also handles piecewise functions by allowing you to return NaN for undefined values, ensuring smooth plotting.

  3. Vectorized Plots: The new vectorized plotting APIs, like rectangle plots, enable efficient visualization of larger datasets. This is achieved by processing entire collections of data points with consistent styling, which is particularly useful for datasets with raw GPS coordinates or solar panel installations.

  4. Accessibility: Swift Charts ensures that visualizations are accessible by default, with features like VoiceOver to describe charts.
