EvEdgeTangentLine "parameter" parameter

Hi all. Since the EvEdgeTangentLine function has a parameter that can be a value between 0 and 1, which corresponds to a point along the line. I was wondering if I set the parameter to 0, how does FS decide which endpoint that is? I'm assuming it's to do with the direction but I'm not sure.
I'm asking this because I have a line and I want to get a vector using the endpoints such that the direction is going in a positive one e.g. in the direction of the positive x-axis

the best would be to evaluate chord vector for some random vertex order and reverce it if vector dot product between the vector of x axis is negative (or the same condition - negative x component of the chord vector)
