The InterfaceTemplate.hpp classes lacked implementation. Added complete C++ code generation aligned with library conventions (Button, Toggle, Slider patterns).

Implementation

InterfaceWindow

  • Constructors: Default, parameterized, with TableManager integration
  • Layout: setAnchorPosition(), setWindow(), arrangeTables()
  • Rendering: Integrated draw pipeline for window, TableManager, Tooltip, RectangularGridDragSelection
  • Events: Mouse routing to child components with state management

Template

  • Constructors: Default, parameterized, with callback support
  • Layout: setPosition(), set()
  • Rendering: State-based visuals (isInterfacing), text centering via ofBitmapStringGetBoundingBox()
  • Events: Mouse handling with callback execution

Library Conventions

  • Doxygen documentation with sectioned organization (/// ------------- Section Name -------------)
  • Constructor progression: default → parameterized → full
  • Drawing: ofDrawRectRounded() with 0.25 * width corner radius (matches Button/Toggle)
  • Events: Standard signatures, proper child component routing
  • State management: boolean flags (isInterfacing)

Usage

// InterfaceWindow with TableManager
TableManager* manager = new TableManager(0, "UI", 20, 20, 15, 15);
InterfaceWindow* window = new InterfaceWindow("Main", 100, 100, 600, 400, manager);

// Template with callback
Template* widget = new Template("Action", 150, 200, 180, 60, []() {
    performAction();
});

// Standard event routing
void ofApp::mousePressed(int x, int y, int button) {
    window->mousePressed(x, y, button);
    widget->mousePressed(x, y, button);
}

Original prompt

On InterfaceTemplate.hpp, C++ code generation for new widget implementation aligned with your library’s conventions

Custom agent used: openframeworks-ui-assistant
A specialized engineering agent that assists with designing, refactoring, documenting, and extending C++ OpenFrameworks user-interface components. Provides bottom-up explanations of architecture, generates clean and idiomatic C++ code, proposes UI interaction patterns, and maintains consistent style and documentation conventions across the library.
