//	The DAG Path Class provides methods for obtaining one or all Paths to a
//	specified DAG Node, determining if a Path is valid and if two Paths are
//	equivalent, obtaining the length, transform, and inclusive and exclusive
//	matrices of Path, as well as performing Path to Path assignment.

///  DAG Path. (OpenMaya) (OpenMaya.py)
/**

Provides methods for obtaining one or all Paths to a specified DAG Node,
determining if a Path is valid and if two Paths are equivalent, obtaining the
length, transform, and inclusive and exclusive matrices of a Path, as well as
performing Path to Path assignment.

DAG Paths may be used as parameters to some methods in the DAG Node Function
Set (MFnDagNode).

It is often useful to combine DAG Paths into DAG Path arrays (MDagPathArray).
