getParts()

Part of the @remotion/paths package.

danger

Deprecated in favor of getSubpaths().

Takes an SVG path and returns an array of parts of the path.

Example of a path that has two straight lines:

tsx
import { getParts } from "@remotion/paths";
 
const parts = getParts(`
  M 0 0 L 100 0
  M 0 100 L 200 100
`);
tsx
import { getParts } from "@remotion/paths";
 
const parts = getParts(`
  M 0 0 L 100 0
  M 0 100 L 200 100
`);

An array is returned containing two parts.

tsx
console.log(parts[0].length); // 100
console.log(parts[1].length); // 200
tsx
console.log(parts[0].length); // 100
console.log(parts[1].length); // 200

Properties of a part​

length​

Returns the length of the part.

tsx
console.log(parts[0].length); // 100
tsx
console.log(parts[0].length); // 100

start​

Returns the x and y coordinates of the start point of the part.

tsx
console.log(parts[0].start); // { x: 0, y: 0 }
tsx
console.log(parts[0].start); // { x: 0, y: 0 }

end​

Returns the x and y coordinates of the end point of the part.

tsx
console.log(parts[0].end); // { x: 100, y: 0 }
tsx
console.log(parts[0].end); // { x: 100, y: 0 }

getPointAtLength()​

Returns the x and y coordinates of a point along the line of a part. The input must be between 0 and length.

tsx
console.log(parts[0].getPointAtLength(50)); // { x: 50, y: 0 }
tsx
console.log(parts[0].getPointAtLength(50)); // { x: 50, y: 0 }

getTangentAtLength()​

Returns tangents x and y of a point along the line of a part. The input must be between 0 and the return value of getLength().

tsx
console.log(parts[0].getTangentAtLength(50)); // { x: 1, y: 0 }
tsx
console.log(parts[0].getTangentAtLength(50)); // { x: 1, y: 0 }
