## DFdy
|
|
Return the partial derivative of an argument with respect to y
|
|
|
|
### Declaration
|
|
```glsl
|
|
genType dFdy(float y);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
```p``` specifies the expression of which to take the partial derivative.
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
Available only in the fragment shader, ```dFdy``` return the partial derivative of expression ```p``` in ```y```. Deviatives are calculated using local differencing. Expressions that imply higher order derivatives such as ```dFdy(dFdy(n))``` have undefined results, as do mixed-order derivatives such as ```dFdy(dFdx(n))```. It is assumed that the expression ```p``` is continuous and therefore, expressions evaluated via non-uniform control flow may be undefined.
