/** \class TVirtualMagField
\ingroup Geometry_classes
Abstract class for magnetic field. Derived classes are encouraged to
use the TVirtualMagField named constructor and must implement the method:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Field(const Double_t *x, Double_t *B)
~~~
 
A field object can be made global via:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   TGlobalMagField::Instance()->SetField(field)         [1]
~~~
 
A field which is made global is owned by the field manager. The used is not
allowed to delete it directly anymore (otherwise a Fatal() is issued). Global
field can be deleted by calling [1] with a different argument (which can be
NULL). Otherwise the global field is deleted together with the field manager.
