Description: This Scheme extension tests the face quality by comparing the procedural derivatives with finite difference derivatives up to the 4th derivatives. Output message can be sent to a optional data file.


face defines the face entity to test derivatives.


num-u defines the position number to test in the surface u direction. The default is 10.


num-v defines the position number to test in the surface v direction. The default is 10.


start-u defines the start surface u parameter. The default is the surface u parameter range.


end-u defines the end surface u parameter.


start-v defines the start surface v parameter. The default is the surface v parameter range.


end-v defines the end surface v parameter.


file defines the output file name. The default is debug_file_ptr.
