Path.length()

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

Signature

float path.length()

Example

```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 }
