DESCRIPTION
     This class defines a information node in the scene graph. This node has
     no effect during traversal. It is used to store information in the scene
     graph, typically for application-specific purposes, copyright messages,
     or other strings. This node differs from the SoLabel node in that it
     stores its information in an SbString instead of an SbName; the SbString
     is more efficient for storing long strings that don't have to be accessed
     very often. Use an SoLabel node for short strings that have to be
     accessed more often.

FIELDS
     SoSFString          string
          Defines the info string value as an SbString.


FUNCTIONS
     SoInfo *            SoInfoCreate()
          Creates an info node with default settings.

     SoType              SoInfoGetClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     Info {
          string  "<Undefined info>"
     }
