Scaling transformation

A scaling transformation alters size of an object. In the scaling process, we either compress or expand the dimension of the object. Scaling operation can be achieved by multiplying each vertex coordinate (x, y) of the polygon by scaling factor s_x and s_y to produce the transformed coordinates as (x', y').

What is scaling transformation with example?

To change the size of an object, scaling transformation is used. In the scaling process, you either expand or compress the dimensions of the object. Scaling can be achieved by multiplying the original coordinates of the object with the scaling factor to get the desired result.

What is scaling in CAD CAM?

Scale in AutoCAD is the scale factor used to multiply the dimensions of an object with a specific scale. A scale factor between 0 and 1 shrinks the object, and a scale factor greater than one enlarges the object.

What is scaling in geometric transformation?

In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions.
