The `Path.length()` method returns the length of the path.

## Signature

```js

```

## Example

<Example caption="Example of the Path.length() method">
```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, macro, utils, units, part }) => {

  points.A = new Point(45, 60)
  points.B = new Point(10, 30)
  points.BCp2 = new Point(40, 20)
  points.C = new Point(90, 30)
  points.CCp1 = new Point(50, -30)

  paths.AB = new Path()
    .move(points.A)
    .line(points.B)

  paths.BC = new Path()
    .move(points.B)
    .curve(points.BCp2, points.CCp1, points.C)

  const lengthABC = paths.AB.length() + paths.BC.length()

  macro("pd", {
     path: new Path().move(points.B).line(points.A),
     d: 10
   })

   macro("pd", {
     path: new Path().move(points.B).curve(points.BCp2, points.CCp1, points.C),
     d: -10
   })

  points.label = new Point(25, 40)
    .addText('Total length = ' + units(lengthABC))

  // Set a path to prevent clipping
  paths.noclip = new Path()
    .move(new Point(10, -15))
    .move(new Point(90, 60))

  return part
}
