SwiftUI Charts have introduced several new features and improvements, particularly focusing on vectorized and function plots. These enhancements make it easier to create accessible and visually appealing data visualizations. Here are some key points from the sessions:

  1. Function Plots: Swift Charts now support plotting mathematical functions, allowing for the visualization of weather trends, mood tracking, and more. 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 and visualizing mathematical functions in apps.

  2. Vectorized Plots: The new vectorized plotting APIs enable more efficient visualization of larger datasets. This includes the ability to handle parametric functions and piecewise functions, where you can return NaN for undefined values.

  3. Customization: Swift Charts allows for extensive customization, such as changing the color and opacity of plots to enhance legibility and contrast. You can also customize the x and y scales to focus on specific parts of a function.

  4. Performance: By using stored properties and key paths, Swift Charts can access data points more efficiently, improving performance when dealing with large datasets.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Swift Charts: Vectorized and function plots (00:01:01) which covers these topics extensively.
