Skill code for calculating length of a path with bends

Zebib

 I am trying to calculate the length of a given path with many bends using a skill code.

Thanks

  • Zebib,

    There are lots of examples around, in the places I mentioned.

    One approach you could use is to use code like this to convert a polygon back into a path. A bit of a brute-force (not the most elegant thing I've ever written), but it's one approach. It assumes it is really like a path - i.e. constant "width". Also deals with rectangles (see comments in code).

    Having converted to a path, you could calculate the length as Lawrence suggested before.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
