}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Accelerate.

Ownership evidence
vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/HueAdjustmentApp.swift:12 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@main
struct HueAdjustmentApp: App {
// ...
@StateObject private var labHueRotate = LabHueRotate(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "Flowers_1.png"))
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
HueAdjustmentApp |
LabHueRotate (labHueRotate) |
owns wrapper-managed state | Owning lexical scope |
ContentView |
LabHueRotate (labHueRotate) |
receives environment-provided state | The environment provider is authoritative |
ContentView |
Font (font) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
ContentView |
NumberFormatter (formatter) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Class and protocol design
vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/HueAdjustmentApp.swift:10 — representative type boundary
struct HueAdjustmentApp: App {
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
HueAdjustmentApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
ContentView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
LabHueRotate |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | ObservableObject |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
labHueRotate (vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/HueAdjustmentApp.swift:12) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
labInterleavedSource (vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/LabHueRotate.swift:28) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
labInterleavedDestination (vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/LabHueRotate.swift:31) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
labPlanarDestination (vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/LabHueRotate.swift:34) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
Reference code
vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/HueAdjustmentApp.swift:12 — representative boundary

@StateObject private var labHueRotate = LabHueRotate(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "Flowers_1.png"))
// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | HueAdjustmentApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ContentView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| SwiftUI environment injection | vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/ContentView.swift:12 |
The environment supplies state or a capability without threading it through every initializer. |
| Publisher-backed observable state | vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/LabHueRotate.swift:14 |
Published properties notify observers while mutation remains with the state object. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: HueAdjustmentApp; View: ContentView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
applyAdjustment. - Files:
vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/HueAdjustmentApp.swift,vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/ContentView.swift,vImage-lab-hue-adjustment/LabHueRotate.swift.
Architecture takeaways
HueAdjustmentAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, Accelerate, Cocoa through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
