DESCRIPTION
     A field containing a single SbRotation (an arbitrary rotation).

     SoSFRotations are written to file as four floating point values separated
     by whitespace. The 4 values represent an axis of rotation followed by the
     amount of right-handed rotation about that axis, in radians. For example,
     a 180 degree rotation about the Y axis is:

          0 1 0  3.14159265



METHODS
     void                getValue(const SbVec3f &axis, float &angle) const
          Gets the value of the field as an axis/angle.

     void                setValue(float q0, float q1, float q2, float q3)
                         setValue(float q[4])
          Set the field to the given quaternion.

     void                setValue(const SbVec3f &axis, float angle)
          Set the field to the rotation given by axis/angle.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
     virtual void        getTypeId() const
          Returns the type for this class or a particular object of this
          class.

     const SbRotation &  getValue() const
          Returns this field's value.

     const SbRotation &  operator =(const SbRotation & newValue)
     void                setValue(const SbRotation & newValue)
          Sets this field to newValue.

     int                 operator ==(const SoSFRotation &f) const
     int                 operator !=(const SoSFRotation &f) const
          Returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this
          field.
