Detailed Description

Field containing an engine instance.

This field maintains an SoEngine instance , correctly maintaining its reference counts .

SoSFEngines are written to file as the engine they are maintaining. For example:

   mySoSFEngineField ElapsedTime

is an SoSFEngine field named 'mySoSFEngineField', containing an SoElapsedTime engine. If the engine is used elsewhere, the regular DEF/USE instancing mechanism applies:

   anotherSoSFEngineField USE calculator

is an SoSFEngine field that refers to a engine named 'calculator' that was DEF'ed earlier in the scene.
