SVGPathSegList needs getTotalLength, getSegmentAtLength path traversal code Now that bug 12033 is complete SVGPathElement::getTotalLength works. However right now it uses toPathData() (without any caching). In some cases it would be more efficient to use a getTotalLength function on a SVGPathSegList (assuming one is already created for DOM use). Certainly getSegmentAtLengh should traverse the SVGPathSegList instead of the Path object. This bug covers implementing SVGPathSegList path traversal functions. The major question to answer with regards to SVGPathSegList is whether to support non-normalized path traversal or not. (For example, we'd have to automatically process arcs into curves, or write code to measure arc length in addition to the existing code for measuring bezier curve lengths)

I added these when working on animateMotion. However they don't yet work for general case SVGPathSegLists. Currently they only work on normalized/processed SVGPathSegLists which only contain lines, movetos, closepaths, and curvetos. Eventually support should be added for all the various types, including arcs (at least in the case of getSegmentAtLength). Also, right now SVGPathSegList has a couple copies of the same switch statement for doing these traversals. Better might be to add a length() method onto the individual segment classes, or to at least share the switch statement with a single common method (similar to how PathTraversalState is used to support sharing a single switch inside Path.cpp).

We need a few JS test cases to demonstrate this.

Normalized behavior of TraversalState shouldn't be a problem, once the patch on bug 44009 landed.

A function like this is a bit of an anti-pattern.

Fixed. >> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGPathParserFactory.cpp:282 >> + totalLength = builder->totalLength(); > > Should this be done only if ok is true? It doesn't matter. The idea is, that you check the status before using totalLength(). And totalLength() should not cause an invalid behavior (also checked by an assert). But it is just possible to grab totalLength after the parsePathDataFromSource call. >> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGPathParserFactory.cpp:299 >> + point = builder->currentPoint(); > > Should this be done only if ok is true? Ditto. >> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGPathTraversalStateBuilder.cpp:88 >> } > > Seeing m_traversalState-> so many times over and over again leads to the question of whether m_traversalState could have some function members to make this code simpler. A function like this is a bit of an anti-pattern. I'll check this.
