// Class description:
//
// The class for constructing magnetic, electromagnetic and gravity
// fields which strength is defined via G4Field.
//
// The equation of motion of a particle in a field and the
// integration method are set according to the selection in
// G4FieldParameters, as well as other accuracy parameters.
// The default values in G4FieldParameters correspond to defaults
// set in Geant4.
