DESCRIPTION
     This node represents a sphere. By default, the sphere is centered at the
     origin and has a radius of 1. The sphere is transformed by the current
     cumulative transformation and is drawn with the current lighting model,
     drawing style, material, and geometric complexity.

     A sphere does not have faces or parts. Therefore, the sphere ignores
     material and normal bindings, using the first material for the entire
     sphere and using its own normals. When a texture is applied to a sphere,
     the texture covers the entire surface, wrapping counterclockwise from the
     back of the sphere. The texture has a seam at the back on the yz-plane.

FIELDS
     SoSFFloat		 radius
	  Radius of sphere. This must be greater than 0.

FUNCTIONS
     SoSphere *		 SoSphereCreate()
	  Creates a sphere node with default settings.

     SoType		 SoSphereGetClassTypeId()
	  Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR
     SoGLRenderAction
	  Draws sphere based on the current coordinates, materials, drawing
	  style, and so on.

     SoRayPickAction
	  Intersects the ray with the sphere. No details are created for
	  intersections.

     SoGetBoundingBoxAction
	  Computes the bounding box that encloses the sphere.

     SoCallbackAction
	  If any triangle callbacks are registered with the action, they will
	  be invoked for each successive triangle that approximates the
	  sphere.
