DESCRIPTION

       This  engine  joins  up  to  10 separate fields of a type into a single multiple-valued field of the same
       type. The type of the input fields can be any subclass of SoMField The type is specified when an instance
       of  the class is created. For example, SoConcatenate(SoMFFloat::getClassTypeId())  creates an engine that
       concatenates floating-point values.

       The input field is a 10-element array, where each element can be connected to single- or  multiple-valued
       fields.   All  the  values  in  the input are concatenated together to form one multiple-value field. For
       example, if input[0] contains 10 values and input[1] contains  3  values,  the  output  will  contain  13
       values.

       Note  that,  unlike the output of most engines, output is a pointer. Note also that by default input does
       not contain any values, and no value is output from the engine.

INPUTS

     <inputType>         input[10]

OUTPUTS

     (<outputType>)      output

METHODS

                         SoConcatenate(SoType inputType)
          Constructor. The argument specifies the type of values to concatenate.
