##<paper-dialog>

Material design: [Dialogs](https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/dialogs.html)

`` is a dialog with Material Design styling and optional animations when it is opened or closed. It provides styles for a header, content area, and an action area for buttons. You can use the `` element (in its own repository) if you need a scrolling content area. To autofocus a specific child element after opening the dialog, give it the `autofocus` attribute. See `Polymer.PaperDialogBehavior` and `Polymer.IronOverlayBehavior` for specifics.

For example, the following code implements a dialog with a header, scrolling content area and buttons. Focus will be given to the `dialog-confirm` button when the dialog is opened.

```html

Header

Lorem ipsum...
Cancel Accept
```

### Styling

See the docs for `Polymer.PaperDialogBehavior` for the custom properties available for styling this element.

### Animations

Set the `entry-animation` and/or `exit-animation` attributes to add an animation when the dialog is opened or closed. See the documentation in [PolymerElements/neon-animation](https://github.com/PolymerElements/neon-animation) for more info.

For example:

```html

Header

Dialog body
```

### Accessibility

See the docs for `Polymer.PaperDialogBehavior` for accessibility features implemented by this element.
