fractionToPointAndDerivative Method
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.
