How can I find the length of a linear curve in dplot.

There's no way to do that. Another good suggestion, though. I'll add something like a $LENGTH() shortcut similar to what $AREA does.

Thanks for your support. Can you please let me know how much time it will take to incorporate this function. In how much time, can you provide me a patch over the current version if I buy the license today. This requirment is urgent for me.

Same answer as the other post, though this one has a better chance of making it into the next release since it is a trivial change.

Version 2.1.7.2 has a $LENGTH text placeholder that will be replaced by the length of the corresponding curve.
