Detailed Description

Field containing a name.

A field containing a name. Names are short series of characters generally used for labels or names, and are stored in a special table designed to allow fast lookup and comparison. For most purposes, an SoSFString field is probably more appropriate.

SoSFNames are written to file as a string of characters. Names must begin with an underscore or alphabetic character, and must consist entirely of underscores, alphabetic characters, or numbers.
