DESCRIPTION

       This engine linearly interpolates between two floating-point values, based  on  the  alpha
       input value. The alpha value should be between 0.0 and 1.0.

       The  input  fields  can  have  multiple values, allowing the engine to interpolate several
       objects in parallel. One of the inputs may have more values than the other. In that  case,
       the last value of the shorter input will be repeated as necessary.

INPUTS

     SoMFFloat           input0
     SoMFFloat           input1
          The engine linearly interpolates from input0 to input1.

METHODS

                         SoInterpolateFloat()
          Constructor.
