pub fn partials(
surface: &Surface,
u: Scalar,
v: Scalar,
) -> GeomResult<(Vec3, Vec3)>Expand description
Analytic first partial derivatives (∂S/∂u, ∂S/∂v) at (u, v).
Rational B-spline derivatives are evaluated in homogeneous space and projected with the quotient rule. This remains stable when valid imported knot domains have large offsets that make finite-difference steps vanish.
