Syntax

scale(shape,factor)
c = scale(shape,factor)

Description

scale(shape,factor) scales the shape by a constant scaling factor and plots the resultant shape.

example

c = scale(shape,factor) scales the shape by a constant scaling factor and returns a shape object.

Examples

Open Live Script

Create a rectangular shape.

r  = antenna.Rectangle;
show(r)
axis equal

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (m), ylabel y (m) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myrectangle.

Shrink the rectangle by 50%.

scale(r,0.5);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (mm), ylabel y (mm) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, myrectangle.
