<I>Example : declaration</I>
@code
  // declaration of a VectorValue, empty by default
  openfluid::core::VectorValue Val1;

  // declaration of a VectorValue of 7 elements, with values initialized to 0.0
  openfluid::core::VectorValue Val2(7);

  // declaration of a VectorValue of 7 elements, with values initialized to 1.99
  openfluid::core::VectorValue Val3(7,1.99);
@endcode


<I>Example : getting the contained values</I>
@code
  double Tmp1;

  // using the get method
  Tmp1 = Val1.get(2);

  // or using the [] operator
  Tmp1 = Val1[2];
@endcode


<I>Example : getting all values as a c-style array of double</I>
@code
  double DblArrayVal[];

  DblArrayVal = Val1.getData();
@endcode


<I>Example : setting the contained values</I>
@code
  // using the set method
  Val1.set(0,101.99);

  // or using the [] operator
  Val1[0] = 101.99;
@endcode


<I>Example : conversion from string</I>
@code
  openfluid::core::StringValue StringVal;
  openfluid::core::VectorValue Val2;

  // to VectorValue, using a string values separator
  StringVal.set("3;5;2.8;6;17.999923;1;1;1;1;1;2.11;2.12;2.13;2.14;2.15");
  StringVal.toVectorValue(";",Val2);
@endcode


<I>Example : conversion to string</I>
@code
  std::string StdStrVal = Val1.toString();
@endcode
