DESCRIPTION

       This  field maintains a pointer to an SoPath instance, correctly maintaining its reference
       count.

       SoSFPaths are written to file as the path they point to. See the SoPath manual page for  a
       description of the file format for a path.

METHODS

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

     SoPath *            getValue() const
          Returns this field's value.

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

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