// class G4Field
//
// Class description:
//
// Abstract class for any kind of Field.
// It allows any kind of field (vector, scalar, tensor and any set of them)
// to be defined by implementing the inquiry function interface.
//
// The key method is  GetFieldValue( const  double Point[4],
//                    *************         double *fieldArr ) 
// Given an input position/time vector 'Point', 
// this method must return the value of the field in "fieldArr".
//
// A field must also specify whether it changes a track's energy:
//                    DoesFieldChangeEnergy() 
//                    *********************
// A field must co-work with a corresponding Equation of Motion, to
// enable the integration of a particle's position, momentum and, optionally, 
// spin.  For this a field and its equation of motion must follow the
// same convention for the order of field components in the array "fieldArr"
// -------------------------------------------------------------------
// History:
// - Created:  John Apostolakis, 10.03.1997
// - Modified: 
//   V. Grichine     8 Nov 2001: Extended "Point" arg to [4] array to add time
//   J. Apostolakis  5 Nov 2003: Added virtual method DoesFieldChangeEnergy()
//   J. Apostolakis 31 Aug 2004: Information on convention for components

       //   1) The 'Point' vector has the following structure:
       //        Point[0]  is  x  ( position, in Geant4 units )
       //        Point[1]  is  y
       //        Point[2]  is  z
       //        Point[3]  is  t  ( time,  in Geant4 units )
       //   2) The convention for the components of the field
       //      array 'fieldArr' are determined by the type of field.
       //      See for example the class G4ElectroMagneticField.
