// .NAME vtkWidgetSet - Synchronize a collection on vtkWidgets drawn on different renderwindows using the Callback - Dispatch Action mechanism.
// 
// .SECTION Description
// The class synchronizes a set of vtkAbstractWidget(s). Widgets typically
// invoke "Actions" that drive the geometry/behaviour of their representations
// in response to interactor events. Interactor interactions on a render window
// are mapped into "Callbacks" by the widget, from which "Actions" are 
// dispatched to the entire set. This architecture allows us to tie widgets
// existing in different render windows together. For instance a HandleWidget
// might exist on the sagittal view. Moving it around should update the 
// representations of the corresponding handle widget that lies on the axial 
// and coronal and volume views as well. 
//
// .SECTION User API
// A user would use this class as follows.
// \code
// vtkWidgetSet *set = vtkWidgetSet::New();
// vtkParallelopipedWidget *w1 = vtkParallelopipedWidget::New();
// set->AddWidget(w1);
// w1->SetInteractor(axialRenderWindow->GetInteractor());
// vtkParallelopipedWidget *w2 = vtkParallelopipedWidget::New();
// set->AddWidget(w2);
// w2->SetInteractor(coronalRenderWindow->GetInteractor());
// vtkParallelopipedWidget *w3 = vtkParallelopipedWidget::New();
// set->AddWidget(w3);
// w3->SetInteractor(sagittalRenderWindow->GetInteractor());
// set->SetEnabled(1);
// \endcode
//
// .SECTION Motivation
// The motivation for this class is really to provide a usable API to tie 
// together multiple widgets of the same kind. To enable this, subclasses
// of vtkAbstractWidget, must be written as follows:
//   They will generally have callback methods mapped to some user 
// interaction such as:
// \code
// this->CallbackMapper->SetCallbackMethod(vtkCommand::LeftButtonPressEvent,
//                         vtkEvent::NoModifier, 0, 0, NULL, 
//                         vtkPaintbrushWidget::BeginDrawStrokeEvent,
//                         this, vtkPaintbrushWidget::BeginDrawCallback);
// \endcode
//   The callback invoked when the left button is pressed looks like: 
// \code
// void vtkPaintbrushWidget::BeginDrawCallback(vtkAbstractWidget *w)
// {
//   vtkPaintbrushWidget *self = vtkPaintbrushWidget::SafeDownCast(w);
//   self->WidgetSet->DispatchAction(self, &vtkPaintbrushWidget::BeginDrawAction);
// }
// \endcode
//   The actual code for handling the drawing is written in the BeginDrawAction 
// method.
// \code
// void vtkPaintbrushWidget::BeginDrawAction( vtkPaintbrushWidget *dispatcher)
// {
// // Do stuff to draw... 
// // Here dispatcher is the widget that was interacted with, the one that
// // dispatched an action to all the other widgets in its group. You may, if
// // necessary find it helpful to get parameters from it.
// //   For instance for a ResizeAction:
// //     if (this != dispatcher)
// //       {
// //       double *newsize = dispatcher->GetRepresentation()->GetSize();
// //       this->WidgetRep->SetSize(newsize);
// //       }
// //     else
// //       {
// //       this->WidgetRep->IncrementSizeByDelta();
// //       }
// }
// \endcode
// 
// .SECTION Caveats
// Actions are always dispatched first to the activeWidget, the one calling
// the set, and then to the other widgets in the set.
