inCyclic | Bool | Defines whether to compute differences between first and last elements |

outDerivative | Profile |
Description
Computes finite difference of profile using forward, backward or central difference method. If inCyclic is False then depending of chosen difference method values for first or last element of inProfile is undefined and thus outermost values are doubled when necessary.
For instance, in forward difference method, last element of derivative profile is always zero. In backward difference method, first element is always zero.
