org.apache.batik.ext.awt.geom.PathLength

public class PathLength
extends Object

Utilitiy class for length calculations of paths.

PathLength is a utility class for calculating the length of a path, the location of a point at a particular length along the path, and the angle of the tangent to the path at a given length.

It uses a FlatteningPathIterator to create a flattened version of the Path. This means the values returned are not always exact (in fact, they rarely are), but in most cases they are reasonably accurate.
