Patterns

SwiftUI tiling black and white patterns.

This project contains Patterns, which are built out of Tiles with a given TileDesign.

It also includes a TilePicker that can be used to control the selected design.

Available Tile Designs

The TileDesign enum contains the following patterns (shown in the image from top left to bottom right)

• .grid
• .dottedGrid
• .stitch
• .curvedTile
• .brick
• .tile
• .shadowGrid
• .circles
• .trees
• .shingles
• .wicker
• .rhombus
• .balls

Usage

The Pattern view will tile the selected design in its frame. It has the following properties:

• design: Binding<TileDesign>: required, which design to use to tile the frame.
• pixelSize: CGFloat: defaults to 2.0, the size of a pixel in the tile.
• foregroundColor: Color: defaults to Color.black, the foreground color.
• backgroundColor: Color: defaults to Color.white, the background color.

// Pattern using default settings
Pattern(design: .constant(TileDesign.shadowGrid))

// Pattern using overrides
Pattern(design: $tileDesign, pixelSize: 4.0, foregroundColor: .pink, backgroundColor: .cyan)

Using the PatternPicker

The pattern picker view is intended to be used when you want to allow users to change the design of the pattern.

• selectedDesign: Binding<TileDesign>: required, the current selected tile design.
• selectedColor: Color: defaults to Color.accentColor, the color of the border around the selected tile design.

It also has pixelSize, foregroundColor, and backgroundColor with the same effect as Pattern mentioned above

@State var design: TileDesign = .brick
@State var shouldShowPatternPicker = false

...

Pattern(design: $pattern)
  .frame(width: 32.0).border(.black)
  .onTapGesture {
    shouldShowPatternPicker = !shouldShowPatternPicker;
  }
  .popover(isPresented: $shouldShowPatternPicker) {
    PatternPicker(selectedDesign: $design)
  }
  .onChange(of: pattern) { _ in
    shouldShowPatternPicker = false;
  }

The Tile view

If you'd like to do other things with the individual tiles, we also provide the Tile view, which is just a single tile.

The tiles support the same properties as Pattern with the exception that design is a TileDesign and not a Binding<TileDesign>
