15 \ingroup Geometry_classes
16 
17 Global magnetic field manager. Provides access to
18 and owns the actual magnetic field set via `SetField()`. The field is deleted
19 upon destruction of the field manager at the end of ROOT session or
20 by calling:
21 
22 ~~~ {.cpp}
23 TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->SetField(0).
24 ~~~
25 
26 The previous global field is deleted upon replacement with notification.
27 
28 The global field manager provides access to the global field via:
29 
30 ~~~ {.cpp}
31  TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->GetField()
32 ~~~
33 
34 One can directly call the Field() method of a field via the global field manager:
35 
36 ~~~ {.cpp}
37  TGeoGlobalMagField::Instance()->Field(x,B)
38 ~~~
