// Class description:
//
// This class performs the navigation/propagation of a particle/track
// in a magnetic field. The field is in general non-uniform.
// For the calculation of the path, it relies on the class G4ChordFinder.
// It utilises an ODE solver (with the Runge-Kutta method) to evolve the
// particle, and drives it until the particle has traveled a set distance
// or it enters a new volume.
// Author: John Apostolakis (CERN), 25 October 1996
