/** \brief ParticleVector carries vector data (of a given vector dimension) for
 *  an arbitrary number of particles. Data is stored contiguously in memory in
 *  an either
 *  byNODES (x0,x1,x2,...,xN,y0,y1,y2...yN,z0.....zN) or
 *  byVDIM (x0,y0,z0,...,xN,yN,zN) ordering,
 *  where N+1 is the number of particles.
 *  ParticleVector provides convenient methods for accessing and manipulating
 *  data for individual particles (e.g., \ref GetValues) or
 *  components across all particles (e.g., \ref GetComponents).
 *
 *  Note that, since ParticleVector inherits from Vector, all Vector operations
 *  (e.g., device support) are available. We do recommend use of the
 *  methods \ref SetNumParticles and \ref SetVDim for manipulating container
 *  size, instead of \ref Vector::SetSize, to ensure consistency.
