The SVGPathElement.getTotalLength() method returns the user agent's computed value for the total length of the path in user units.
Note: In SVG 2 this method was moved to the SVGGeometryElement interface, from which the SVGPathElement inherits it.
Syntax
float someElement.getTotalLength();
Return value
A float indicating the total length of the path in user units.
