A charts / plotting library for SwiftUI. Works on macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS and has accessibility and Localization features built in.
Working on a Version 3 with a more SwiftUI feel to the API.

import SwiftUICharts
If you have trouble with views not updating correctly, add .id() to your View.
LineChart(chartData: LineChartData)
.id(LineChartData.id)
View Modifiers
The order of the view modifiers is some what important as the modifiers are various types of stacks that wrap around the previous views.
All Chart Types
Touch Overlay
Detects input either from touch of pointer. Finds the nearest data point and displays the relevent information where specified.
The location of the info box is set in ChartStyle -> infoBoxPlacement.
.touchOverlay(chartData: CTChartData, specifier: String, unit: TouchUnit)
- chartData: Chart data model.
- specifier: Decimal precision for labels.
- unit: Unit to put before or after the value.
Setup within Chart Data --> Chart Style
Info Box
Displays the information from Touch Overlay if InfoBoxPlacement is set to .infoBox.
The location of the info box is set in ChartStyle -> infoBoxPlacement.
.infoBox(chartData: CTChartData)
- chartData: Chart data model.
Floating Info Box
Displays the information from Touch Overlay if InfoBoxPlacement is set to .floating.
The location of the info box is set in ChartStyle -> infoBoxPlacement.
.floatingInfoBox(chartData: CTChartData)
- chartData: Chart data model.
Header Box
Displays the metadata about the chart, set in Chart Data -> ChartMetadata
Displays the information from Touch Overlay if InfoBoxPlacement is set to .header.
The location of the info box is set in ChartStyle -> infoBoxPlacement.
.headerBox(chartData: CTChartData)
Legends
Displays legends.
.legends()
Lays out markers over each of the data point.
Line and Bar Charts
Average Line
Shows a marker line at the average of all the data points.
.averageLine(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol,
markerName: "Average",
labelPosition: .yAxis(specifier: "%.0f"),

- Returns: A new view containing the chart with a marker line at a specified value.
X Axis Grid
Adds vertical lines along the X axis.
.xAxisGrid(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol)
Setup within ChartData -> ChartStyle.
Y Axis Grid
Adds horizontal lines along the Y axis.
.yAxisGrid(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol)
Setup within ChartData -> ChartStyle.
X Axis Labels
Labels for the X axis.
.xAxisLabels(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol)
Setup within ChartData -> ChartStyle.
Y Axis Labels
Automatically generated labels for the Y axis
.yAxisLabels(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol, specifier: "%.0f")
- specifier: Decimal precision specifier.
Setup within ChartData -> ChartStyle.
yAxisLabelType:
case numeric // Auto generated, numeric labels.
case custom // Custom labels array
Custom is set from ChartData -> yAxisLabels
Linear Trend Line
A line across the chart to show the trend in the data.
.linearTrendLine(chartData: CTLineBarChartDataProtocol,
firstValue: Double,
lastValue: Double,
lineColour: ColourStyle,
strokeStyle: StrokeStyle)
Line Charts
Point Markers
Lays out markers over each of the data point.
.pointMarkers(chartData: CTLineChartDataProtocol)
Setup within Data Set -> PointStyle.
Filled Top Line
Adds an independent line on top of FilledLineChart.
.filledTopLine(chartData: LineChartData,
lineColour: ColourStyle,
strokeStyle: StrokeStyle)
Allows for a hard line over the data point with a semi opaque fill.

Accessibility
Inside certain elements are additional tags to help describe the chart for VoiceOver.
See Localization of Accessibility
Localization
All labels support localization. There are, however, some hidden labels that are there to support VoiceOver. See Localization of Accessibility
Localization of Accessibility
See the localization demo in the Demo Project.
Voice over description of a datapoint when the user touches the area closest to the data point.
The VoiceOver will say <chart title>, <data point value>, <data point description>.
"%@ <local_description_of_a_data_point>" = "%@, <Description of a data point>";
Read out before a poiMarker.
The VoiceOver will say <p o i marker>, <marker legend title>, <marker value>.
"P-O-I-Marker" = "P O I Marker";
"Average" = "Average";
Voice over description of a poiMarker.
The VoiceOver will say <P-O-I-Marker>, <marker legend title>, <marker value>.
"<local_marker_legend_title> %@" = "local_marker_legend_title, %@";
Read out before a axisLabel.
The VoiceOver will say <axisLabel>, <marker value>.
"X-Axis-Label" = "X Axis Label";
"Y-Axis-Label" = "Y Axis Label";
Read out before a legend.
The VoiceOver will say <chart type legend>, <legend title>.
"Line-Chart-Legend" = "Line Chart Legend";
"P-O-I-Marker-Legend" = "P O I Marker Legend";
"Bar-Chart-Legend" = "Bar Chart Legend";
"P-O-I-Marker-Legend" = "P O I Marker Legend";
"Pie-Chart-Legend" = "Pie Chart Legend";
"P-O-I-Marker-Legend" = "P O I Marker Legend";
