SVGGeometryElement.pathLength

The SVGGeometryElement.pathLength property reflects the pathLength attribute and returns the total length of the path, in user units.

Note: This property was originally part of the SVGPathElement interface. SVG 2 introduced the SVGGeometryElement interface and moved the property to it.

Syntax

var pathLength = someElement.pathLength;
