/** 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.
