 TGeoNode

   A node represent a volume positioned inside another.They store links to both
 volumes and to the TGeoMatrix representing the relative positioning. Node are
 never instanciated directly by users, but created as a result of volume operations.
 Adding a volume named A with a given user ID inside a volume B will create a node
 node named A_ID. This will be added to the list of nodes stored by B. Also,
 when applying a division operation in N slices to a volume A, a list of nodes
 B_1, B_2, ..., B_N is also created. A node B_i does not represent a unique
 object in the geometry because its container A might be at its turn positioned
 as node inside several other volumes. Only when a complete branch of nodes
 is fully defined up to the top node in the geometry, a given path like:
       /TOP_1/.../A_3/B_7 will represent an unique object. Its global transformation
 matrix can be computed as the pile-up of all local transformations in its
 branch. We will therefore call "logical graph" the hierarchy defined by nodes
 and volumes. The expansion of the logical graph by all possible paths defines
 a tree sructure where all nodes are unique "touchable" objects. We will call
 this the "physical tree". Unlike the logical graph, the physical tree can
 become a huge structure with several milions of nodes in case of complex
 geometries, therefore it is not always a good idea to keep it transient
 in memory. Since a the logical and physical structures are correlated, the
 modeller rather keeps track only of the current branch, updating the current
 global matrix at each change of the level in geometry. The current physical node
 is not an object that can be asked for at a given moment, but rather represented
 by the combination: current node + current global matrix. However, physical nodes
 have unique ID's that can be retreived for a given modeler state. These can be
 fed back to the modeler in order to force a physical node to become current.
 The advantage of this comes from the fact that all navigation queries check
 first the current node, therefore knowing the location of a point in the
 geometry can be saved as a starting state for later use.

   Nodes can be declared as "overlapping" in case they do overlap with other
 nodes inside the same container or extrude this container. Non-overlapping
 nodes can be created with:

      TGeoVolume::AddNode(TGeoVolume *daughter, Int_t copy_No, TGeoMatrix *matr);

 The creation of overapping nodes can be done with a similar prototype:

      TGeoVolume::AddNodeOverlap(same arguments);

 When closing the geometry, overlapping nodes perform a check of possible
 overlaps with their neighbours. These are stored and checked all the time
 during navigation, therefore navigation is slower when embedding such nodes
 into geometry.

   Node have visualization attributes as volume have. When undefined by users,
 painting a node on a pad will take the corresponding volume attributes.

 Execute mouse actions on this volume.
char * GetObjectInfo(Int_t px, Int_t py) const
 Get node info for the browser.

 draw only this node independently of its vis options
void Draw(Option_t* option = "")
 draw current node according to option
void DrawOverlaps()
 Method drawing the overlap candidates with this node.
void FillIdArray(Int_t& ifree, Int_t& nodeid, Int_t* array) const
 Fill array with node id. Recursive on node branch.

 Search for a node within the branch of this one.
void SaveAttributes(ostream& out)
 save attributes for this node
void SetUserExtension(TGeoExtension* ext)
 Connect user-defined extension to the node. The node "grabs" a copy, so
 the original object can be released by the producer. Release the previously
 connected extension if any.

 NOTE: This interface is intended for user extensions and is guaranteed not
 to be used by TGeo

void SetFWExtension(TGeoExtension* ext)
 Connect framework defined extension to the node. The node "grabs" a copy,
 so the original object can be released by the producer. Release the previously
 connected extension if any.

 NOTE: This interface is intended for the use by TGeo and the users should
       NOT connect extensions using this method

TGeoExtension * GrabUserExtension() const
 Get a copy of the user extension pointer. The user must call Release() on
 the copy pointer once this pointer is not needed anymore (equivalent to
 delete() after calling new())
TGeoExtension * GrabFWExtension() const
 Get a copy of the framework extension pointer. The user must call Release() on
 the copy pointer once this pointer is not needed anymore (equivalent to
 delete() after calling new())

 Check the overlab between the bounding box of the node overlaps with the one
 the brother with index IOTHER.

 Set visibility of the daughters (obsolete).
