Public Shared Function EvaluateNormalPartials ( 
	ds As Vector3d,
	dt As Vector3d,
	dss As Vector3d,
	dst As Vector3d,
	dtt As Vector3d,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef ns As Vector3d,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef nt As Vector3d
) As Boolean

Parameters

ds
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative.
dt
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative.
dss
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
dst
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
dtt
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
Second partial derivative.
ns
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative of unit normal. If the Jacobian is degenerate, ns is set to zero.
nt
Type: Rhino.GeometryVector3d
First partial derivative of unit normal. If the Jacobian is degenerate, nt is set to zero.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
true if Jacobian is non-degenerate, false if Jacobian is degenerate.
