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>"
     }
