// .NAME vtkSMVectorProperty - abstract superclass for all vector properties
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSMVectorProperty defines an interface common to all vector properties
// as well as some common settings. A vector property contains a list
// of values passed to one or more invocations of a command. How the
// values are distributed to the different invocations is controlled
// by several parameters.

  // Description:
  // Returns the size of the vector.
  virtual unsigned int GetNumberOfElements() = 0;

  // Description:
  // Sets the size of the vector.
  virtual void SetNumberOfElements(unsigned int num) = 0;

  // Description:
  // If RepeatCommand is true, the command is invoked multiple times,
  // each time with NumberOfElementsPerCommand values. For example, if
  // RepeatCommand is true, NumberOfElementsPerCommand is 2, the
  // command is SetFoo and the values are 1 2 3 4 5 6, the resulting
  // stream will have:
  // @verbatim
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 1 2
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 3 4
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 5 6
  // @endverbatim

  // Description:
  // If RepeatCommand is true, the command is invoked multiple times,
  // each time with NumberOfElementsPerCommand values. For example, if
  // RepeatCommand is true, NumberOfElementsPerCommand is 2, the
  // command is SetFoo and the values are 1 2 3 4 5 6, the resulting

  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 1 2
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 3 4

  // Description:
  // If UseIndex and RepeatCommand are true, the property will add
  // an index integer before each command. For example, if UseIndex and
  // RepeatCommand are true, NumberOfElementsPerCommand is 2, the
  // command is SetFoo and the values are 5 6 7 8 9 10, the resulting
  // stream will have:
  // @verbatim
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 0 5 6
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 1 7 8
  // * Invoke obj SetFoo 2 9 10

  // is called before the main Command.

  // with the number of arguments as the parameter.
