// .NAME vtkUnsignedCharArray - dynamic, self-adjusting array of unsigned char
// .SECTION Description
// vtkUnsignedCharArray is an array of values of type unsigned char.
// It provides methods for insertion and retrieval of values and will
// automatically resize itself to hold new data.

#ifndef __vtkUnsignedCharArray_h

// Tell the template header how to give our superclass a DLL interface.
