DESCRIPTION

       A  single-value  field that contains an enumerated type value, stored as an integer. Nodes
       that use this field class define mnemonic names for the values. These names should be used
       when  setting  or  testing  the values of the field, even though the values are treated as
       integers in the methods.

       SoSFEnums are written to file as a mnemonic enumerated type name. The name  differs  among
       uses of this field in various node or engine classes. See the man pages for specific nodes
       or engines for the names (e.g. SoDrawStyle).

METHODS

     void                setValue(const SbName &name)
          Sets this field to contain the given mnemonic name, passed in as a name or string.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
     virtual void        getTypeId() const
          Returns the type for this class or a particular object of this class.

     int                 getValue() const
          Returns this field's value.

     int                 operator =(int newValue)
     void                setValue(int newValue)
          Sets this field to newValue.

     int                 operator ==(const SoSFEnum &f) const
     int                 operator !=(const SoSFEnum &f) const
          Returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this field.
