  • SKSparklineView — Inline trend charts
  • SKProgressRing — Circular progress with customizable styles
  • SKGradientView — Animated mesh/conic gradients
  • SKMorphView — Path-to-path morphing animations
  • SKDonutChart — Pie/donut data visualization
  • SKBlurView — Real-time glassmorphism effects

Document Contents

  • Example XAML APIs for each control
  • Use cases and implementation complexity
  • Priority matrix based on community demand
  • Utility feature suggestions (gradient builders, shadow helpers, animation utilities)
  • Summary of community-requested Lottie improvements from open issues

Original prompt

this repo is like a community toolkit for skiasharp. It is meant to put cool controls that are useful and functional and helpful for develpers who want to use skiasharp. Can you do some research and think about what sort of controls we could create.
