Purpose

The node SoInfo defines an information node in the scene graph. This node has no effect during traversal.

It is used to store information in the scene graph, typically for application-specific purposes, copyright messages, or other strings.

This node differs from the SoLabel node in that it stores its information in an SbString instead of an SbName; the SbString is more efficient for storing long strings that do not need to be accessed frequently.

A SoLabel node should be used for short strings that require more frequent access.
