Saola Linedrawing not working with freeform curve

Dom · February 15, 2020, 11:29pm

Hi,

I tried to reproduce the Linedrawing sample project with a heart and replacing the heart with a freeform curve. Unfortunately it doesn’t work and I get the following message

TypeError: path.getTotalLength is not a function. (In ‘path.getTotalLength()’, ‘path.getTotalLength’ is undefined)

This is working with SVG curves in other tools. What can be wrong?

Dom,
p.s. : your products rock!

For freeform you need to use _linePath instead:

var path = doc.getElement('freeOne')._linePath;

Hi,

Thanks for your fast answer. I have another question for you. Where can I find some reference about Saola and Presenter Javascript?

Have a nice day

The help manual contains the public APIs but I find reading back through old posts gives you a much better understanding of what Saola can do and how to use JS effectively.

And you can turn the API commands on in the editor:
