# CLKComplicationTemplate

An abstract class that defines the base behavior for all templates.

## Declaration

```swift
class CLKComplicationTemplate
```

## Overview

Overview You don’t create instances of this class directly. Instead, you create instances of one of the concrete subclasses and use the resulting object to specify the data for your complication.
