// Qt implementation of main viewer supervisory object -- Gui level.

// <synopsis>
// A QtViewer app should use just one QtViewer object, in all
// Probability; the rest of the objects will coordinate through it.
//
// The viewer is structured with a functional layer and a gui layer.
// In principle the former can operate without the latter.
// This class contains and manages various _gui_ objects associated with
// the viewer.  Its base manages the corresponding functional objects.
//
//   Functional objects     Related Gui objects

//      QtDisplayData       QtDataOptionsPanel
//      QtDisplayPanel      QtDisplayPanelGui, panel options dialog

//      QtDisplayPanel _is_ also a display widget, but minimal,
//      without surrounding graphical interface (animator, menus, etc.)
//      to operate it.
