Depends on what you want to do with the PathLength. If you want to perform a get-point-at-distance-along on a <path> element, then you can do: SVGPathElement pathElt = …; SVGPoint p = pathElt.getPointAtLength(12.34); >From the SVG DOM you can’t get the tangent at a point, or approximate the path by straight line segments, though. But either way, you need to have the GVT tree built because getPointAtLength() will just internally call the method on PathLength, which needs the rendering tree. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: batik-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: batik-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
