How do I animate a Swift line mark chart

It works. My memory was wrong on assigning values to a @State variable in the init but after some research I corrected my error. Below is the updated view. Thank you for your input.

struct ClosingValuesChart: View {
    
    @State private var selectedDate: Date? = nil
    @State private var selectedClose: Float? = nil
    @State private var xAxisLabels: [Date] = []
    var closingValues: [TradingDayClose]
    var heading: String = ""
    var renderRate: Double
    
    @State var showData: [Bool]
    
    init(fundName: String, numYears: Int, closingValues: [TradingDayClose], renderRate: Double) {
        self.heading = fundName + String(" - \(numYears) Year")
        self.closingValues = closingValues
       _showData = State(initialValue: Array(repeating: false, count: closingValues.count))
        self.renderRate = renderRate
    }
    
    var body: some View {
        
        GroupBox (heading) {
            let xMin = closingValues.first?.timeStamp
            let xMax = closingValues.last?.timeStamp
            let yMin = closingValues.map { $0.close }.min()!
            let yMax = closingValues.map { $0.close }.max()!
            let xAxisLabels: [Date] = GetXAxisLabels(xMin: xMin!, xMax: xMax!)
            var yAxisLabels: [Float] {
                stride(from: yMin, to: yMax + ((yMax - yMin)/7), by: (yMax - yMin) / 7).map { $0 }
            }
            
            Chart {
                ForEach(Array(closingValues.enumerated()), id: \.offset ) { (index, value) in
                    if showData[index] {
                        LineMark(
                            x: .value("Time", value.timeStamp!),
                            y: .value("Closing Value", value.close)
                        )
                        .foregroundStyle(Color.blue)
                        .lineStyle(StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 1.25))
                    }
                }
            }
            .onAppear {
                for i in 0...closingValues.count - 1 {
                    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + renderRate * Double(i)) {
                        showData[i] = true
                    }
                }
            }
            
            .chartXScale(domain: xMin!...xMax!)
            .chartXAxisLabel(position: .bottom, alignment: .center, spacing: 25) {
                Text("Date")
                    .textFormatting(fontSize: 14)
            }
            .chartXAxis {
                AxisMarks(position: .bottom, values: xAxisLabels) { value in
                    AxisGridLine(centered: true, stroke: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 1))
                    AxisValueLabel(anchor: .top) {
                        if value.as(Date.self) != nil {
                            Text("")
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            .chartYScale(domain: yMin...yMax)
            .chartYAxisLabel(position: .leading, alignment: .center, spacing: 25) {
                Text("Closing Value")
                    .font(Font.custom("Arial", size: 14))
                    .foregroundColor(.black)
            }
            .chartYAxis {
                AxisMarks(position: .leading, values: yAxisLabels) { value in
                    AxisGridLine(centered: true, stroke: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 1))
                    AxisValueLabel() {
                        if let labelValue = value.as(Double.self) {
                            Text(String(format: "$ %.2f", labelValue))
                                .textFormatting(fontSize: 12)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            .chartOverlay { proxy in
                GeometryReader { geometry in
                    ChartOverlayRectangle(selectedDate: $selectedDate, selectedClose: $selectedClose, proxy: proxy, geometry: geometry, xMin: xMin!, xMax: xMax!, closingValues: closingValues)
                }
            }
            .overlay {
                XAxisDates(dateLabels: xAxisLabels)
            }
            .overlay {
                DateAndClosingValue(selectedDate: selectedDate ?? Date(), selectedClose: selectedClose ?? 0.0)
            }
        }
        .groupBoxStyle(ChartGroupBoxStyle())
    }
}

Thanks for the feedback.

Unable to initial showData with false. Used @State var showData: [Bool] = [] and in init: self.showData = Array(repeating: false, count: closingValues.count).showData is still empty. closingValues.count = 251

In fact, you have solved this issue when initializing a state var.

If you declare

@State var showData: [Bool] = []

then you should set the values in .onAppear, not init.

Or you must do it differently in init as you found:

let temp = Array(repeating: false, count: closingValues.count)
_showData = State(initialValue: temp)    // to change in init, need to change the internal storage _showData  Take care of starting underscore
