\page scale_operation_page Scale Transform
\n To produce a <b>Scale Transform</b> in the <b>Main Menu</b> select
<b>Operations - > Transformation - > Scale Transform</b>
\n This operation creates a scaled shape basing on the initial
shape. For this, you need to define the \b Shape to be scaled, the
<b>Central Point</b> of scale and the Scale Factor(s).
\n The \b Result will be a \b GEOM_Object.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeScaleTransform(Shape, CenterOfScale, Factor)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 shape(s) + 1 vertex + 1 Scale Factor.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeScaleAlongAxes(Shape, CenterOfScale, FactorX, FactorY, FactorZ)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 shape(s) + 1 vertex + 3 Scale Factors.
\n <b>Advanced option:</b>
\ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".
\note If <b>Central Point</b> is not defined, the scaling will be
performed relatively the origin of global coordinate system.
\note Scaling by a factor is a simple transformation, it does not modify
geometry of the shape, while scaling by different factors along axes
is a general transformation, which can modify geometry, for example, a
circle can be transformed into an ellipse.
