All Implemented Interfaces:

SFVec4f, X3DField
```
public class SFVec4fObject
extends X3DConcreteField
implements SFVec4f
```
This utility class provides a concrete implementation corresponding to SFVec4f X3D field type.

Package hint: This specification class is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI). SFVec4f is a 4-tuple set of single-precision floating-point values, specifying a 3D homogeneous vector. Warning: comma characters in attribute values do not pass strict XML validation.
