fractionToPointAnd2Derivatives MethodAbstract

Return a plane with

  • origin at fractional position along the curve
  • vectorU is the first derivative, i.e. tangent vector with length equal to the rate of change with respect to the fraction.
  • vectorV is the second derivative, i.e. derivative of vectorU which points in the direction of the curve's derivative's change.
  • Note: We are dealing with a parametric equation of the curve (a function f : R -> R^3) so first and second derivatives are in fact derivatives of the parametric equation.
