Class Name: Scale

Superclass - LSR Transformation Step

Definition

An LSR Transformation Step that specifies a scaling percentage along the given axis.

If the absolute value of the scaling percentage is greater than 1.0, then the Scale operation will stretch any target object along the given axis. On the other hand, if the absolute value is less than 1.0, any target object will be shrunk along the given axis.

If the scaling value is negative, then the Scale operation will reflect any target object across the origin along the given axis, as well as shrinking or stretching the object based on the magnitude of the scale amount.
