31// Class G4PropagatorInField
32//
33// class description:
34//
35// This class performs the navigation/propagation of a particle/track
36// in a magnetic field. The field is in general non-uniform.
37// For the calculation of the path, it relies on the class G4ChordFinder.
38//
39// Key Method: ComputeStep(..)
40
41// History:
42// -------
43// 25.10.96 John Apostolakis, design and implementation
44// 25.03.97 John Apostolakis, adaptation for G4Transportation and cleanup
45// 8.11.02 John Apostolakis, changes to enable use of safety in intersecting
