NAME

scale - scale and mirror objects

SYNOPSIS

C
scale(x, y, z)
float x, y, z;

FORTRAN
subroutine scale(x, y, z)
real x, y, z

Pascal
procedure scale(x, y, z: real);

DESCRIPTION

Scale shrinks, expands, and mirrors objects.  Its three arguments specify scaling in each of the three coordinate directions.  Values with magnitude of 1 or more expand the object; values with magnitude less than 1 shrink it.  Negative values cause mirroring.  Scale is a modeling command; it changes the current transformation matrix.  All objects drawn after the scale command is executed will be affected.  Use pushmatrix and popmatrix to limit the scope of the scale command.
