Yes, there are several new features in Swift Charts as presented at WWDC. Here are some of the highlights:
-
Function Plots: Swift Charts now allows you to visualize mathematical functions in your apps. This includes new line plots for visualizing a single function and area plots to fill in the area between two functions. You can also plot parametric functions and handle piecewise functions. For more details, you can check the session Swift Charts: Vectorized and function plots.
-
Vectorized Plots: These are designed to handle larger datasets more efficiently by allowing the entire plot to be customized with the same modifiers and properties. This is particularly useful for datasets where individual customization of data points is not necessary. More information can be found in the session Swift Charts: Vectorized and function plots.
-
3D Charts: Swift Charts now supports 3D charting, which allows for a new level of data visualization by bringing charts into the third dimension. This feature is available on iOS, iPadOS, and VisionOS, and it enables users to explore datasets from new perspectives. You can learn more about this in the session Bring Swift Charts to the third dimension.
These updates make Swift Charts a more powerful tool for creating informative and visually appealing data visualizations across Apple platforms.
Swift Charts: Vectorized and function plots
The plot thickens! Learn how to render beautiful charts representing math functions and extensive datasets using function and vectorized plots in your app. Whether you’re looking to display functions common in aerodynamics, magnetism, and higher order field theory, or create large interactive heat maps, Swift Charts has you covered.
Bring Swift Charts to the third dimension
Learn how to bring your 2D Swift Charts to the third dimension with Chart3D and visualize your data sets from completely new perspectives. Plot your data in 3D, visualize mathematical surfaces, and customize everything from the camera to the materials to make your 3D charts more intuitive and delightful. To get the most out of this session, we recommend being familiar with creating 2D Swift Charts.
