title: Calculate the length of a segment of a quadratic bezier
body: <p>I use this algorithm to calculate the length of a quadratic bezier:
  <a href="http://www.malczak.linuxpl.com/blog/quadratic-bezier-curve-length/" rel="nofollow">http://www.malczak.linuxpl.com/blog/quadratic-bezier-curve-length/</a></p>
  
  <p>However, what I wish to do is calculate the length of the bezier from 0 to t where 0 &lt; t &lt; 1</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to modify the formula used in the link above to get the length of the first segment of a bezier curve?</p>
  
  <p>Just to clarify, I'm not looking for the distance between q(0) and q(t) but the length of the arc that goes between these points.</p>
  
  <p>(I don't wish to use adaptive subdivision to aproximate the length)</p>
