// .NAME vtkFieldDataSerializer.h -- Field data serialization/de-serialization
//
// .SECTION Description
//  A concrete instance of vtkObject which provides functionality for
//  serializing and de-serializing field data, primarily used for the purpose
//  of preparing the data for transfer over MPI or other communication
//  mechanism.

    // to the actual primitive type of each array, e.g.,VTK_DOUBLE,VTK_INT, etc.

    // component corresponds to the number of tuples of and the second component
    // corresponds to the number components of array i.
