+
+### 1. InterfaceTemplate.cpp (434 lines added)
+**Location**: `Math Utilities/Interface Elements/InterfaceTemplate.cpp`
+
+#### InterfaceWindow Implementation
+- **Constructors (3 variants)**:
+  - Default constructor with sensible defaults
+  - Parameterized constructor with label and geometry

+
+- **Position/Size Methods**:
+  - `setAnchorPosition()`: Updates position while maintaining size
+  - `setWindow()`: Updates both position and size
+  - `arrangeTables()`: Manages table layout within the window
+

+  - `draw()`: Comprehensive rendering of window background, border, label, table manager, tooltip, and user rectangle
+  - State-based visual feedback (highlighted when interfacing)
+  - Integration with child components
+

+  - `mousePressed()`: Routes events to child components, manages interaction state
+  - `mouseReleased()`: Updates state and forwards events
+
+#### Template Implementation
+- **Constructors (3 variants)**:

+## Library Convention Adherence
+
+### Documentation Standards ✓
+- File headers with project name and author
+- Doxygen-style comments for all public methods
+- Parameter descriptions with proper formatting
+- Detailed inline comments explaining logic
+
+### Code Organization ✓
+- Sectioned organization using `/// ------------- Section Name -------------`
+- Grouped declarations with `/// \{` and `/// \}`
+- Logical ordering: Constructors → Setters → User Interaction → Attributes
+
+### Constructor Pattern ✓
+- Default constructor for basic initialization
+- Parameterized constructors for common use cases
+- Full constructors with callback/manager support
+- Consistent initialization order
+
+### Drawing Conventions ✓
+- `ofFill()` / `ofNoFill()` for shape rendering
+- `ofSetColor()` for color management
+- `ofDrawRectRounded()` with proportional corner radius (0.25 * width)
+- `ofSetLineWidth()` for borders with proper reset
+- State-based color selection
+
+### Event Handling ✓
+- Standard `mousePressed()` and `mouseReleased()` signatures
+- Consistent parameter naming (x, y, button)
+- Proper event routing to child components
+- State management with boolean flags
+
+### Widget Patterns ✓
+- `ofRectangle` for position and size management
+- Boolean state flags (isInterfacing, isPressed, etc.)
+- `std::function<void()>` for callback support
+- Integration with Tooltip component
+- Consistent with Button, Toggle, Slider patterns
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Highlights
+
+### 1. Robust Event Management
+Both classes properly route mouse events to child components while maintaining their own interaction state. This ensures:
+- No event blocking
+- Proper propagation through the component hierarchy
+- Clear interaction feedback
+
+### 2. Visual Consistency
+The implementation maintains visual consistency with existing widgets:
+- Matching color schemes
+- Consistent corner radius calculations
+- Similar state-based rendering patterns
+- Standard border and fill styles
+
+### 3. Flexible Integration
+Classes are designed for easy integration:
+- Multiple constructor variants for different use cases
+- Support for standalone use or hierarchical composition
+- TableManager integration for complex layouts
+- Callback support for custom interactions
+
+### 4. Comprehensive Documentation
+Extensive documentation at multiple levels:
+- File-level overview
+- Class-level feature descriptions
+- Method-level implementation details
+- Usage examples and best practices
+
+---
+
+## Code Quality Improvements
+
+### Code Review Feedback Addressed
+1. **Magic Number Elimination**:
+   - Changed corner radius from hardcoded 0.15 to library-standard 0.25
+   - Replaced character width estimation (8) with `ofBitmapStringGetBoundingBox()`
+
+2. **Improved Maintainability**:
+   - Added explanatory comments for all calculations
+   - Used consistent patterns from existing widgets
+   - Applied proportional sizing where appropriate
+
+### Security Scan
+- CodeQL analysis: No vulnerabilities detected
+- No security issues in implementation

+## Usage Integration
+
+### Quick Start
+```cpp
+// Include the header
+#include "InterfaceTemplate.hpp"
+
+// Create an InterfaceWindow
+InterfaceWindow* window = new InterfaceWindow(
+    "My Window", 100, 100, 600, 400
+);
+
+// Create a Template widget
+Template* widget = new Template(
+    "Click Me", 150, 200, 180, 60,
+    []() { ofLogNotice() << "Clicked!"; }
+);
+
+// Draw in ofApp::draw()
+window->draw();
+widget->draw();
+
+// Handle events in ofApp::mousePressed()
+window->mousePressed(x, y, button);
+widget->mousePressed(x, y, button);
+```
+
+For comprehensive examples, see `INTERFACE_TEMPLATE_USAGE.md`.
