DESCRIPTION

       This class defines a information node in the scene graph. This node has no effect during traversal. It is
       used to store information in the scene graph,  typically  for  application-specific  purposes,  copyright
       messages,  or other strings. This node differs from the SoLabel node in that it stores its information in
       an SbString instead of an SbName; the SbString is more efficient for storing long strings that don't have
       to be accessed very often. Use an SoLabel node for short strings that have to be accessed more often.

FIELDS

     SoSFString          string
          Defines the info string value as an SbString.

METHODS

                         SoInfo()
          Creates an info node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

       Info {
          string  "<Undefined info>"
     }
