NAME

       SbVec4d -

       The SbVec4d class is a 4 dimensional vector with double precision floating point coordinates.

       This vector class is not by many other classes in Coin. It provides storage for a 3 dimensional homogeneoues vector (with the 4 components
       usually referred to as <x, y, z, w>) aswell as simple double precision floating point arithmetic operations.

	   setValue().

   void SbVec4d::getValue (double &x, double &y, double &z, double &w) const [inline]
       Returns the x, y, z and w coordinates of the vector.

       See also:
	   setValue().
