How to know the length of an element

Postby katun89 » Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:29 am

Hi guys, here is the problem:

I have to check whether a string is longer than the path which contains it. Is there a Dom method to know the length of an element? So I could check whether the first (element, the string) is longer than the second (the rect or path which contains it).
Can anyone help me? Please T_T

Or if it's perfectly horizontal or vertical, use the node tool and do math with the X and Y coordinates.
