// .NAME vtkBalloonWidget - popup text balloons above instance of vtkProp when hovering occurs
// .SECTION Description
// The vtkBalloonWidget is used to popup text and/or an image when the mouse
// hovers over an instance of vtkProp. The widget keeps track of
// (vtkProp,vtkBalloon) pairs (where the internal vtkBalloon class is defined
// by a pair of vtkStdString and vtkImageData), and when the mouse stops
// moving for a user-specified period of time over the vtkProp, then the
// vtkBalloon is drawn nearby the vtkProp. Note that an instance of
// vtkBalloonRepresentation is used to draw the balloon.
//
// To use this widget, specify an instance of vtkBalloonWidget and a
// representation (e.g., vtkBalloonRepresentation). Then list all instances
// of vtkProp, a text string, and/or an instance of vtkImageData to be
// associated with each vtkProp. (Note that you can specify both text and an
// image, or just one or the other.) You may also wish to specify the hover
// delay (i.e., set in the superclass vtkHoverWidget).
//
// .SECTION Event Bindings
// By default, the widget observes the following VTK events (i.e., it
// watches the vtkRenderWindowInteractor for these events):
// <pre>
//   MouseMoveEvent - occurs when mouse is moved in render window.
//   TimerEvent - occurs when the time between events (e.g., mouse move)
//                is greater than TimerDuration.
//   KeyPressEvent - when the "Enter" key is pressed after the balloon appears,
//                   a callback is activated (e.g., WidgetActivateEvent).
// </pre>
//
// Note that the event bindings described above can be changed using this
// class's vtkWidgetEventTranslator. This class translates VTK events
// into the vtkBalloonWidget's widget events:
// <pre>
//   vtkWidgetEvent::Move -- start the timer
//   vtkWidgetEvent::TimedOut -- when hovering occurs,
//   vtkWidgetEvent::SelectAction -- activate any callbacks associated
//                                   with the balloon.
// </pre>
//
// This widget invokes the following VTK events on itself (which observers
// can listen for):
// <pre>
//   vtkCommand::TimerEvent (when hovering is determined to occur)
//   vtkCommand::EndInteractionEvent (after a hover has occurred and the
//                                    mouse begins moving again).
//   vtkCommand::WidgetActivateEvent (when the balloon is selected with a
//                                    keypress).
// </pre>
