Edge.ComputeDerivatives

Description:
Returns the vectors describing the edge at the specified parameter.
Remarks:
The following is the meaning of the transformation members:
  • Origin is the point on the edge (equivalent to Evaluate);
  • BasisX is the tangent vector (the first derivative);
  • BasisY is the second derivative;
  • BasisZ is the bi-normal vector (tangent x normal).
Normal and bi-normal are zero if the edge is straight at the point. None of the vectors are normalized.

  • Double
    parameter
    The parameter to be evaluated.
Return Value Transform The transformation containing a tangent vector, derivative of tangent vector, and bi-normal vector.
