Detailed Description
       The SbPList class is a container class for void pointers.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   SbPList::SbPList (const intsizehint = DEFAULTSIZE)
       This constructor initializes the internal allocated size for the list to sizehint. Note that the list will still initially contain zero
       items.

       Default constructor.

   SbPList::SbPList (const SbPList &l)
       Copy constructor.

   SbPList::~SbPList ()
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation
   void SbPList::copy (const SbPList &l)
       Make this list a copy of l.

   SbPList & SbPList::operator= (const SbPList &l)
       Assignment operator

   void SbPList::fit (void)
       Fit the allocated array exactly around the length of the list, descarding memory spent on unused pre-allocated array cells.

       You should normally not need or want to call this method, and it is only available for the sake of having the option to optimize memory
       usage for the unlikely event that you should throw around huge SbList objects within your application.

   void SbPList::append (void *item) [inline]
       Append item to the end of the list.

       Automatically allocates more items internally if needed.

   int SbPList::find (void *item) const
       Return index of first occurrence of item in the list, or -1 if item is not present.

   void SbPList::insert (void *item, const intinsertbefore)
       Insert item at index insertbefore.

       insertbefore should not be larger than the current number of items in the list.

   void SbPList::removeItem (void *item)
       Removes an item from the list. If there are several items with the same value, removes the item with the lowest index.

   void SbPList::remove (const intindex)
       Remove the item at index, moving all subsequent items downwards one place in the list.

       Reimplemented in SoAuditorList, SoChildList, and SoBaseList.

   void SbPList::removeFast (const intindex) [inline]
       Remove the item at index, moving the last item into its place and truncating the list.

   int SbPList::getLength (void) const [inline]
       Returns number of items in the list.

       Reimplemented in SoAuditorList.

   void SbPList::truncate (const intlength, const intfit = 0) [inline]
       Shorten the list to contain length elements, removing items from index length and onwards.

       If fit is non-zero, will also shrink the internal size of the allocated array. Note that this is much less efficient than not re-fitting
       the array size.

       Reimplemented in SoPickedPointList, and SoDetailList.

   void ** SbPList::getArrayPtr (const intstart = 0) const [inline]
       Returns pointer to a non-modifiable array of the lists elements. start specifies an index into the array.

       The caller is not responsible for freeing up the array, as it is just a pointer into the internal array used by the list.

   void *& SbPList::operator[] (const intindex) const [inline]
       Returns element at index.

       Will automatically expand the size of the internal array if index is outside the current bounds of the list. The values of any additional
       pointers are then set to NULL.

       Reimplemented in SoDetailList, SbVec3fList, SoBaseList, SbIntList, SbStringList, SoFieldList, SoPickedPointList, SoEngineOutputList,
       SoEngineList, SoNodeList, SoPathList, and SoTypeList.

   int SbPList::operator== (const SbPList &l) const
       Equality operator. Returns TRUE if this list and l are identical, containing the exact same ordered set of elements.

   SbBool SbPList::operator!= (const SbPList &l) const [inline]
       Inequality operator. Returns TRUE if this list and l are not equal.

   void * SbPList::get (const intindex) const [inline]
       Returns element at index. Does not expand array bounds if index is outside the list.

       Reimplemented in SoFieldList.

   void SbPList::set (const intindex, void *item) [inline]
       Index operator to set element at index. Does not expand array bounds if index is outside the list.

   void SbPList::expand (const intsize) [inline],  [protected]
       Expand the list to contain size items. The new items added at the end have undefined value.

   int SbPList::getArraySize (void) const [inline],  [protected]
       Return number of items there's allocated space for in the array.
