/** Dialog is one of the two main classes of the UIFactory base class.

 * The Dialog is meant for asking the user for information needed to perform
 * actions he desires, such as asking for a position in space or a length.
 *
 * For this purpose there is the base class Query and numerous specializations
 * for each of the types to be asked. There are primitives integer, doubles and
 * string, but also advanced types such as element, molecule or Vector. There
 * is also an empty query for displaying text.

   * <h1>How to add another query?</h1>
   *
   * Let's say  we want to query for a type called \a Value.
   *
   * Then, we do the following:
   *  -# Add a class ValueQuery inside class Dialog, the class contains
   *    -# constructor/destructor (latter virtual! because of derived class)
   *    -# virtual bool handle() and virtual void setResult()
   *    -# a protected member tmp of type Value (NOTE: herein the result is stored)
   *    -# if temporaries for conversion are needed put them in here
   *  -# add a function queryValue
   *  -# now, for each of the GUIs we basically have to repeat the above, i.e.
   *     add the class and the function that implement the virtual ones above.
   *    -# QT: an extra class called ValueQtQueryPipe that actually handles
   *       showing dialogs to obtain the value and placing it into the \a tmp
   *       variable (via a given pointer to it as reference). handle() will
   *       simply return true. This is needed because of a restriction of Qt4:
   *       its meta-object-compiler does not like nested classes.
   *    -# CommandLine: nothing special, handle() imports value from \a
   *       CommandLineParser and sets the tmp variable.
   *    -# Text: nothing special, handle() queries the user and sets the tmp
   *       variable
