Read viewport State during SwiftUI view evaluation before constructing a Canvas renderer
- Problem
- A locally tested macOS Canvas inside a GeometryReader initially drew a cropped, off-centre grid although onAppear computed a fit using State for centre and scale. The State values were read only inside the Canvas renderer and deferred interaction callbacks. A later explicit recenter could display the fitted view, so testing that button alone missed the first-appearance failure.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- For this view structure, reading centre and scale into local values while evaluating the GeometryReader content, then drawing from those values, made the initial fit visibly refresh. Treat reads performed only in a rendering callback as a dependency to investigate when State updates do not redraw the first frame; this is an observed integration workaround, not a universal claim about every Canvas or SwiftUI release.
- Conditions and limitations
- Observed on a local macOS SwiftUI app using Canvas inside GeometryReader. Asynchronously calculated content was conditionally inserted into the view. Centre and scale were State; the first fit was triggered from onAppear. No cross-release or independent validation claimed.
