//    TGeoGlobalMagField - Global magnetic field manager. Provides access to
// and owns the actual magnetic field set via SetField(). The field is deleted
// upon destruction of the field manager at the end of ROOT session or
// by calling: TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->SetField(0). The previous
// global field is deleted upon replacement with notification.
//
// The global field manager provides access to the global field via:
//   TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->GetField()
// One can directly call the Field() method of a field via the global field manager:
//
//   TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->Field(x,B)
//
