[section:length_2_with_strategy length (with strategy)]
|
|
|
|
Calculates the length of a geometry using the specified strategy.
|
|
|
|
[heading Description]
|
|
The free function length calculates the length (the sum of distances between consecutive points) of a geometry using the specified strategy. Reasons to specify a strategy include: use another coordinate system for calculations; construct the strategy beforehand (e.g. with the radius of the Earth); select a strategy when there are more than one available for a calculation (e.g. distance over the Earth)

[section:length_1 length]
|
|
|
|
Calculates the length of a geometry.
|
|
|
|
[heading Description]
|
|
The free function length calculates the length (the sum of distances between consecutive points) of a geometry. It uses the default strategy, based on the coordinate system of the geometry.
