立方貝塞爾曲線的長度（近似）

給定三次貝塞爾曲線的 4 個點，以下函式返回其長度。

方法： 三次貝塞爾曲線的長度沒有直接的數學計算。這種強力方法找到沿曲線的點的取樣，並計算這些點所跨越的總距離。

準確度： 使用預設取樣大小 40，大致長度精確到 99 +％。

// Return: Close approximation of the length of a Cubic Bezier curve
//
// Ax,Ay,Bx,By,Cx,Cy,Dx,Dy: the 4 control points of the curve
// sampleCount [optional, default=40]: how many intervals to calculate
// Requires: cubicQxy (included below)
//
function cubicBezierLength(Ax,Ay,Bx,By,Cx,Cy,Dx,Dy,sampleCount){
    var ptCount=sampleCount||40;
    var totDist=0;
    var lastX=Ax;
    var lastY=Ay;
    var dx,dy;
    for(var i=1;i<ptCount;i++){
        var pt=cubicQxy(i/ptCount,Ax,Ay,Bx,By,Cx,Cy,Dx,Dy);
        dx=pt.x-lastX;
        dy=pt.y-lastY;
        totDist+=Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
        lastX=pt.x;
        lastY=pt.y;
    }
    dx=Dx-lastX;
    dy=Dy-lastY;
    totDist+=Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
    return(parseInt(totDist));
}

// Return: an [x,y] point along a cubic Bezier curve at interval T
