For example, suppose in the options tree exists a node Root->Foo You may pass the value "Foo" to get that node. Or, suppose in the options tree exists a node Root->Foo->childNode1 In this case, you may pass the value "Foo.childNode1", where the '.' character is the delimiter of the `ToolOptions` class (this is the value at the time of writing this documentation).

    The filter text parameter is used to set the contents filter text of the options. You may use this parameter to filter the tree; for example, to show only the node in the tree that you want the user to see.

      `showOptionsDialog` in interface `OptionsService`
    Parameters:
      `category` - The category of options to have displayed
