// .NAME vtkAbstractArray - Abstract superclass for all arrays
//
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkAbstractArray is an abstract superclass for data array objects.
// This class defines an API that all subclasses must support.  The
// data type must be assignable and copy-constructible, but no other
// assumptions about its type are made.  Most of the subclasses of
// this array deal with numeric data either as scalars or tuples of
// scalars.  A program can use the IsNumeric() method to check whether
// an instance of vtkAbstractArray contains numbers.  It is also
// possible to test for this by attempting to SafeDownCast an array to
// an instance of vtkDataArray, although this assumes that all numeric
// arrays will always be descended from vtkDataArray.
//
// <p>
//
// Every array has a character-string name. The naming of the array
// occurs automatically when it is instantiated, but you are free to
// change this name using the SetName() method.  (The array name is
// used for data manipulation.)
