.RI "\fIThe \fBSbList\fP class is a template container class for lists\&.
.PP
\fBSbList\fP is an extension of the Coin library versus the original Open Inventor API\&. Open Inventor handles most list classes by inheriting the \fBSbPList\fP class, which contains an array of generic \fCvoid*\fP pointers\&. By using this template-based class instead, we can share more code and make the list handling code more typesafe\&. \fP"

.br
.RI "\fIThe \fBSoType\fP class is the basis for the run-time type system in Coin\&.
.PP
Many of the classes in the Coin library must have their type information registered before any instances are created (including, but not limited to: engines, nodes, fields, actions, nodekits and manipulators)\&. The use of \fBSoType\fP to store this information provides lots of various functionality for working with class hierarchies, comparing class types, instantiating objects from classnames, etc etc\&. \fP"
