A mesh gradient is a visual effect used in SwiftUI to create smooth color transitions across a grid. It involves defining a grid with rows and columns, where each point on the grid has an associated color. SwiftUI interpolates between these colors to create a seamless color fill. By adjusting the x and y coordinates of the grid points, you can manipulate the color transitions to create various visual effects. Mesh gradients can be used decoratively or to signal changes in an app through animations. You can experiment with parameters like control points, grid size, and color palette to explore different visual possibilities. For more details, you can refer to the session Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI (07:10).
