  \class SoSFRotation SoSFRotation.h Inventor/fields/SoSFRotation.h
  \brief The SoSFRotation class is a container for an SbRotation.
  \ingroup fields

  This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers
  needs to store a single rotation definition.

  Fields of this type stores their value to file as a rotation axis
  vector plus a rotation angle: "axis0 axis1 axis2 angle".


  Note that there is one \e very common mistake that is easy to make
  when setting the value of an SoSFRotation field, and that is to
  inadvertently use the wrong SbRotation constructor. This example
  should clarify the problem:

  \code
  mytransformnode->rotation.setValue(0, 0, 1, 1.5707963f);
  \endcode

  The programmer clearly tries to set a PI/2 rotation around the Z
  axis, but this will fail, as the SbRotation constructor invoked
  above is the one that takes as arguments the 4 floats of a \e
  quaternion. What the programmer almost certainly wanted to do was to
  use the SbRotation constructor that takes a rotation vector and a
  rotation angle, which is invoked like this:

  \code
  mytransformnode->rotation.setValue(SbVec3f(0, 0, 1), 1.5707963f);
  \endcode

  \sa SoMFRotation
