CurveUV.ComputeDerivatives
Description:
Computes the first derivative, the second derivative and the unit tangent vector at the specified parameter along the curve.
Computes the first derivative, the second derivative and the unit tangent vector at the specified parameter along the curve.

)
-
DoubleparameterThe specified parameter along the curve.
-
BooleannormalizedIf false, parameter is interpreted as natural parameterization of the curve. If true, param is expected to be in [0,1] interval mapped to the bounds of the curve. Setting to true is valid only if the curve is bound.
Return Value
IList<UV>
The array containing three members: the first derivative (at index [0]), the second derivative (at index [1]) and the unit tangent vector (at index [2]).
-
The given value for parameter is not finite
-
The curve cannot be evaluated as normalized because it is unbound. -or- The parameter is not a valid value for normalized evaluation.
