//! \ingroup OpenMaya
//! \brief Indexable Array of DAG Paths. 
/*!
Provides methods for manipulating arrays of DAG Paths.

Arrays of DAG Paths are useful for storing and manipluating multiple Paths
to a particular DAG Node.  The DAG Path method MDagPath::getAllPathsTo()
and DAG Node Function Set method MFnDagNode::getAllPaths() implicitly
return an array of DAG Paths.

These arrays may also be used to manage Paths for a number of different
Nodes.

DAG Path arrays are used in conjunction with DAG Paths (MDagPath) and
individual elements of the arrays can be parameters to some methods of the
DAG Node Function Set (MFnDagNode).

Use this DAG Path Array Class to create and manipulate arrays of DAG Paths,
for either a particular DAG Node or a number of different DAG Nodes.

The length of the array adjusts automatically.
