## @deftypefn  {} {@var{h} =} dialog ()
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{h} =} dialog ("@var{property}", @var{value}, @dots{})
##
## Create an empty modal dialog window to which other uicontrols can be added.
##
## The dialog box is a figure object with properties as recommended for a
## dialog box.
##
## The default properties differing from a figure are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item buttondownfcn
## @code{if isempty (allchild(gcbf)), close (gcbf), endif}
##
## @item colormap
## []
##
## @item color
## defaultuicontrolbackgroundcolor
##
## @item dockcontrols
## off
##
## @item handlevisibility
## callback
##
## @item integerhandle
## off
##
## @item inverthardcopy
## off
##
## @item menubar
## none
##
## @item numbertitle
## off
##
## @item paperpositionmode
## auto
##
## @item resize
## off
##
## @item windowstyle
## modal
##
## @end table
##
##
## Multiple property-value pairs may be specified for the dialog object, but
## they must appear in pairs.  The full list of properties is documented at
## @ref{Figure Properties}.
##
## The return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created figure.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## ## create an empty dialog window titled "Dialog Example"
## h = dialog ("name", "Dialog Example");
##
## ## create a button (default style)
## b = uicontrol (h, "string", "OK",
##                   "position", [10 10 150 40],
##                   "callback", "delete (gcf)");
##
## ## wait for dialog to resume or close
## uiwait (h);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{errordlg, msgbox, questdlg, warndlg, figure, uiwait}
## @end deftypefn
