  \brief The SoBaseKit class is the top level superclass for nodekits.

  \ingroup coin_nodekits

  Node kits are collections of nodes and other node kits (from here on
  node kits which are part of some other node kit, will only be referred
  to as nodes or parts, see catalogs and parts), organized in a way
  that is convenient for its use. A node kit inherits SoNode and can
  thus be inserted into a scene graph as any other node.

  The organizing of the nodes and node kits of some node kit, is done
  through catalogs. A node kit's catalog describes the nodes that can
  be members of the node kit. These members are called parts. Thus a
  node kit has a catalog describing the parts that it offers to the
  user.

  Each part in the catalog has some values saying something about the
  part itself and about the role the part plays in the scene graph.
  Those values are:

  <dl>
  <dt> Name
  <dd> The name of the part.
  <dt> Type
  <dd> The part's node type.
  <dt> Default Type
  <dd> If the part's type is an abstract superclass, this value will hold
  the default subclass used by this part.
  <dt> Created by default?
  <dd> Holds \c TRUE if the part should be instantiated when the node kit
  is instantiated, otherwise the part is kept empty until it is set by some
  of the means applicable.
  <dt> Parent Name
  <dd> The name of the part that is this part's parent.
  <dt> Right Sibling
  <dd> The name of the part that is the part immediately to the right of
  this part in the node kit scene graph.
  <dt> Is it a list?
  <dd> Holds \c TRUE if the part is a list, otherwise it is \c FALSE. See
  SoNodeKitListPart for more info on node kit lists.
  <dt> List Container Type
  <dd> The type of group node used to hold the items if the part is a list.
  <dt> List Element Type
  <dd> The types of nodes that is allowed to be held by this part if the part
  is a list.
  <dt> Is it public?
  <dd> Holds \c TRUE if the part should be publicly available, otherwise
  it holds \c FALSE.
  </dl>

  Node kits use lazy instantiation when it creates its parts. This means
  that the nodes making up the parts of the nodekit only are created when
  they are needed. If the "Created by default?" holds TRUE, then the part
  is created when the node kit itself is instantiated. If not, parts are
  created when they are requested through SoBaseKit::getPart() or the
  SO_GET_PART() macro, or created with SoBaseKit::set(). Also, if a part is
  set with SoBaseKit::setPart() or the SO_SET_PART() macro, any previously
  uncreated parts above the set part in the hierarchy, are created
  automatically.

  The advantages of using node kits to represent a scene graph are many.
  \li Since a node kit collects nodes into a single unit, it becomes
      an extra abstraction layer for the application programmer. Such
      a layer can represent a model of a human being as one unit where
      subunits as arms, legs, textures, etc. are contained within. Thus
      we can instantiate a model of a human by creating an instance of
      the node kit, instead of having to create a possibly large
      amount of nodes needed for such a model.
  \li A part of the node kit doesn't have one specific setup. A shape part
      can e.g. be swapped with any other shape, since they are of the same
      type. If the node kit of a human has a part called "head" which is of
      type SoShape, it might default to a sphere. But if the programmer
      thinks that a cube might fit better, one can set the "head" part to
      a cube instead, or maybe a face set representing a complex model of
      a head.
  \li Node kits can have as simple or as complex catalogs as needed. The
      nodes included in the node kit can, if needed, represent the
      whole range of Inventor features. One part can as easily be of a
      node kit type, making it possible to create hierarchies of node kits.
      Having a node kit of a human, it might be feasible to have sub node
      kits describing the different body parts.
  \li Node kits are an efficient way of creating scene graphs. If some
      part of it isn't needed at the moment of node kit instantiation,
      they aren't created. Thus parts are only created when needed, either
      by the application or some other part.
  \li The application code becomes smaller and easier to read, as the node
      kits provides simple routines for creating and setting parts.
  \li New node kits can be created through subclassing to obtain simple
      setups of scene graphs best fitted to the application.

  The usage of a node kit is straightforward. Below follows a code
  example showing some simple SoShapeKit usage.

  \code

  #include <Inventor/Qt/SoQt.h>
  #include <Inventor/Qt/viewers/SoQtExaminerViewer.h>
  #include <Inventor/nodekits/SoShapeKit.h>
  #include <Inventor/nodes/SoSeparator.h>
  #include <Inventor/nodes/SoCube.h>

  int
  main(int argc, char ** argv)
  {
    QWidget * window = SoQt::init(argv[0]);

    SoQtExaminerViewer * viewer = new SoQtExaminerViewer(window);

    // Instantiating a shape kit, by default creating a simple sphere.
    SoShapeKit * shapekit = new SoShapeKit;
    // Swapping the sphere with a cube.
    shapekit->setPart("shape", new SoCube);
    // Setting the cube to be rendered in the color red. The shape kit
    // has a SoAppearanceKit as one of its parts. The "material" part
    // used to set the color of the shape, really belongs the
    // appearance kit. If the SoShapeKit::set() is used, it will
    // check if some of its sub kits have a part with the name given,
    // and delegate the setting to the correct kit.
    shapekit->set("material", "diffuseColor 1 0 0");

    SoSeparator * newroot = new SoSeparator;
    newroot->ref();

    newroot->addChild(shapekit);

    viewer->setSceneGraph(newroot);

    viewer->show();
    SoQt::show(window);

    SoQt::mainLoop();
    delete viewer;

    newroot->unref();
    return 0;
  }
  \endcode

  The above code snippet will produce a viewer with a side view to
  the scene shown below:

  <center>
  \image html basekitexample.png "Rendering of Example Scenegraph"
  </center>

  Notice that the code needed for creating this simple shape using
  a shape kit, amounts to this:

  \code
   SoShapeKit * shapekit = new SoShapeKit;

   shapekit->setPart("shape", new SoCube);
   shapekit->set("material", "diffuseColor 1 0 0");
  \endcode

  ..while doing it without shape kits amounts to this:

  \code
  SoSeparator * root = new SoSeparator;
  SoMaterial * material = new SoMaterial;
  material->diffuseColor.setValue(1,0,0);
  root->addChild(material);
  root->addChild(new SoCube);
  \endcode

  ..so even for this minuscule mock-up example, you save on code
  verbosity and complexity.


  \TOOLMAKER_REF


  Following is a complete example of a node kit extension. The node
  kit is a kit which automatically scales a shape so it will be the
  same size in screen pixels, no matter which distance it is from the
  camera. This is useful for marker graphics. The shape defaults to a
  cube, but can be set by the programmer to any shape or scene
  subgraph.
