fractionToPointAndDerivative MethodAbstract
Return the point (x,y,z) and derivative on the curve at fractional position.
- Note that this derivative is "derivative of xyz with respect to fraction".
- This derivative shows the speed of the "fractional point" moving along the curve.
- This is not generally a unit vector. Use fractionToPointAndUnitTangent for a unit vector.
