// class G4FieldManager
//
// Class description:
//
// A class to manage (Store) a pointer to the Field subclass that
// describes the field of a detector (magnetic, electric or other).
// Also stores a reference to the chord finder.
//
// The G4FieldManager class exists to allow the user program to specify
// the electric, magnetic and/or other field(s) of the detector.
//
// A field manager can be set to a logical volume (or to more than one),
// in order to vary its field from that of the world. In this manner
// a zero or constant field can override a global field, a more or
// less exact version can override the external approximation, lower
// or higher precision for tracking can be specified, a different
// stepper can be chosen for different volumes, ...
//
// It also stores a pointer to the ChordFinder object that can do the
// propagation in this field. All geometrical track "advancement"
// in the field is handled by this ChordFinder object.
//
// G4FieldManager allows the other classes/object (of the MagneticField
// & other class categories) to find out whether a detector field object
// exists and what that object is.
//
// The Chord Finder must be created either by calling CreateChordFinder
// for a Magnetic Field or by the user creating a a Chord Finder object
// "manually" and setting this pointer.
//
// A default FieldManager is created by the singleton class
// G4NavigatorForTracking and exists before main is called.
// However a new one can be created and given to G4NavigatorForTracking.
//
// Our current design envisions that one Field manager is
// valid for each region detector.
// History:
// - 09.06.15 John Apostolakis, Fix to push G4FieldManager* to equation
// - 05.11.03 John Apostolakis, Added Min/MaximumEpsilonStep
// - 20.06.03 John Apostolakis, Abstract & ability to ConfigureForTrack
// - 10.03.97 John Apostolakis, design and implementation.
