public sealed class DerivativeFunction : FunctionF<Function>
```

The derivative of a function.

## Constructors

- [DerivativeFunction](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/ctor.md): (3 overloads)

## Properties

- [Ui](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/ui.md)

## Methods

- [EmitIntegral](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/emitintegral.md)
- [Holes](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/holes.md): Every value comes from the derivative, not from F, so the derivative is what gets asked. Differentiating tends to add features rather than keep them where they were - a kink in F is a jump in Fʹ - and the derivative function is the one that knows where they ended up.
- [Integrate](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/integrate.md)
- [Poles](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.functions.standard.derivativefunction/poles.md): Every value comes from the derivative, not from F, so the derivative is what gets asked. Differentiating tends to add features rather than keep them where they were - a kink in F is a jump in Fʹ - and the derivative function is the one that knows where they ended up.
