// Class description:
//
// Represents a leaf node or unpositioned subtree in the geometry hierarchy.
// Logical volumes are named, and may have daughters ascribed to them.
// They are responsible for retrieval of the physical and tracking attributes
// of the physical volume that it represents: solid, material, magnetic field,
// and optionally, user limits, sensitive detectors, regions, biasing weights.
//
// Get and Set functionality is provided for all attributes, but note that
// most set functions should not be used  when the geometry is `closed'.
// As a  further development, `Guard' checks can be added to ensure
// only legal operations at tracking time.
//
// On construction, solid, material and name must be specified.
//
// Daughters are ascribed and managed by means of a simple
// GetNoDaughters,Get/SetDaughter(n),AddDaughter interface.
//
// Smart voxels as used for tracking optimisation. They're also an attribute.
//
// Logical volumes self register to the logical volume Store on construction,
// and deregister on destruction.
//
// NOTE: This class is currently *NOT* subclassed, since not meant to
//       act as a base class. Therefore, the destructor is NOT virtual.
//
// Data members:
//
//    std::vector<G4VPhysicalVolume*> fDaughters
//    - Vector of daughters. Given initial size of 0.
//    G4FieldManager* fFieldManager
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to (magnetic or other) field manager object.
//    G4Material* fMaterial
//    - Pointer to material at this node.
//    G4String fName
//    - Name of logical volume.
//    G4VSensitiveDetector *fSensitiveDetector

//    G4VSolid* fSolid
//    - Pointer to solid.
//    G4UserLimits* fUserLimits
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to user Step limit object for this node.
//    G4SmartVoxelHeader* fVoxel
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to optimisation info objects.
//    G4bool fOptimise
//    - Flag to identify if optimisation should be applied or not.
//    G4bool fRootRegion
//    - Flag to identify if the logical volume is a root region.
//    G4double fSmartless
//    - Quality for optimisation, average number of voxels to be spent
//      per content.
//    const G4VisAttributes* fVisAttributes
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to visualization attributes.
//    G4Region* fRegion
//    - Pointer to the cuts region (if any)
//    G4MaterialCutsCouple* fCutsCouple
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to associated production cuts.
//    G4double fBiasWeight
//    - Weight used in the event biasing technique.
//
// Following data members has been moved to G4Region - M.Asai (Aug/18/2005)
//    G4FastSimulationManager* fFastSimulationManager
//    - Pointer (possibly 0) to G4FastSimulationManager object.
//    G4bool fIsEnvelope
