i have some issues with parse_path method

[jeanjakeunuk]

i'm using svg.path for graph analysis
i'm trying to find out the bigger curve but i don't understand meaning of control1 control2 and why their is an factor 'j'
that my output result :

control1 and control2 are the control points for the bezier curve. svg.path uses complex numbers for the mathematics, the j marks the imaginary part of that number. You can think of it as the y-axis.

To find the length of a path segment you can use the .length()method.
