## Building an FxPlug plug-in from an Xcode template

Building an FxPlug plug-in from an Xcode template Create a plug-in in Xcode with the FxPlug template.

Overview

When you run the FxPlug installation bundle, it makes an FxPlug Xcode template available in Xcode. The template’s application bundle contains preconfigured interfaces, source code files, and a Metal renderer that you can use to create a basic filter plug-in for adjusting brightness with Swift or Objective-C. Once you have the brightness plug-in working, you can modify it to make your own plug-in that serves your specific needs.
