Detailed Description

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

SoSFNodes are written to file as the node they are pointing to. For example:

mySoSFNodeField Cube {}

is an SoSFNode field named 'mySoSFNodeField', pointing to an SoCube node. If the node is used elsewhere, the regular DEF/USE instancing mechanism applies:

anotherSoSFNodeField USE topSeparator

is an SoSFNode field that points to a node named 'topSeparator' that was DEF'ed earlier in the scene.
