AsyncGraphics

AsyncGraphics is a Swift package for working with images and video with async / await. The core type is simply just called Graphic, it's like an image and is backed by a MTLTexture.

Views

In AsyncGraphics there are a couple ways to present a graphic.

• AGView to declaratively view AGGraphs
• GraphicView to imperatively view Graphics
• AsyncGraphicView to imperatively view Graphics asynchronously.
• Graphic3DView to view Graphic3Ds

import AsyncGraphics

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        AsyncGraphicView { resolution in
            try await .circle(resolution: resolution)
        }
    }
}

Examples

Blending

First we create an AGView, this is the container for all AGGraphs. In this example we have a AGZStack with 3 AGHStacks. Each graph has a blend mode (AGBlendMode), in this case .screen.

import SwiftUI
import AsyncGraphics

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        AGView {
            AGZStack {
                AGHStack {
                    AGSpacer()
                    AGCircle()
                        .foregroundColor(.red)
                }
                AGHStack {
                    AGSpacer()
                    AGCircle()
                        .foregroundColor(.green)
                    AGSpacer()
                }
                .blendMode(.screen)
                AGHStack {
                    AGCircle()
                        .foregroundColor(.blue)
                    AGSpacer()
                }
                .blendMode(.screen)
            }
        }
    }
}

Layout

First we create an AGView, this is the container for all AGGraphs. In this example we create an AGHStack to contain out boxes, then we loop 3 times with an AGForEach, calculate the width and create AGRoundedRectangles. After that we set the frame to get a fixed size and apply a color. After the stack we apply some padding and finally add a background.

import SwiftUI
import AsyncGraphics

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        AGView {
            AGHStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 15) {
                AGForEach(0..<3) { index in
                    let width = 50 * CGFloat(index + 1)
                    AGRoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15)
                        .frame(width: width, height: width)
                        .foregroundColor(Color(hue: Double(index) / 3,
                                               saturation: 0.5,
                                               brightness: 1.0))
                }
            }
            .padding(15)
            .background {
                AGRoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 30)
                    .opacity(0.1)
            }
        }
    }
}

Camera

import SwiftUI
import AsyncGraphics

struct ContentView: View {
    
    var body: some View {
        AGView {
            AGZStack {
                AGCamera(.front)
                    .resizable()
                    .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill)
                AGCircle()
                    .blendMode(.multiply)
            }
        }
    }
}

You can also do the same with Graphics:

import SwiftUI
import AsyncGraphics

struct ContentView: View {
    
    @State private var graphic: Graphic?
    
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            if let graphic {
                GraphicView(graphic: graphic)
            }
        }
        .task {
            do {
                let resolution = CGSize(width: 1_000, height: 1_000)
                let circleGraphic: Graphic = try await .circle(radius: 500,
                                                               backgroundColor: .clear,
                                                               resolution: resolution)
                for await cameraGraphic in try Graphic.camera(.front) {
                    graphic = try await circleGraphic
                        .blended(with: cameraGraphic,
                                 blendingMode: .multiply,
                                 placement: .fill)
                }
            } catch {
                print(error)
            }
        }
    }
}

Remember to set the Info.plist key NSCameraUsageDescription "Privacy - Camera Usage Description"

Metal

There is the option to write high level metal code in AsyncGraphics. No need to setup a pipeline.

Colors

Colors are represented with the PixelColor type.
import PixelColor to create custom colors with hex values.
