# init(width:height:points:colors:background:smoothsColors:colorSpace:) Creates a new gradient mesh specified as a 2D grid of colored points. ``` @export(implementation) nonisolated init(width: Int, height: Int, points: [SIMD2], colors: [Color], background: Color = .clear, smoothsColors: Bool = true, colorSpace: Gradient.ColorSpace = .device) ``` ## Parameters `width` the width of the mesh, i.e. the number of vertices per row. `height` the height of the mesh, i.e. the number of vertices per column. `points` the array of points, containing `width x height` elements. `colors` the array of colors, containing `width x height` elements. `background` the background color, this fills any points outside the defined vertex mesh. `smoothsColors` whether cubic (smooth) interpolation should be used for the colors in the mesh (rather than only for the shape of the mesh). `colorSpace` the color space in which to interpolate vertex colors. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
