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.
