scale

Scale mesh in each dimension

Syntax

scaledMesh = scale(mesh,scaleFactor)

scaledMesh = scale(mesh,[sx sy sz])

Description

scaledMesh = scale(mesh,scaleFactor) scales the object mesh by scaleFactor. scaleFactor can be the same for all dimensions or defined separately as elements of a 1-by-3 vector in the order x, y, and z.

scaledMesh = scale(mesh,[sx sy sz]) scales the object mesh along the dimensions x, y, and z by the scaling factors sx, sy, and sz.

Examples

Create and Scale Cuboid Mesh

Create an extendedObjectMesh object and scale the object.

Construct a cuboid mesh of unit dimensions.

 cuboid = extendedObjectMesh('cuboid');

Scale the mesh by different factors along each of the three axes.

scaledCuboid = scale(cuboid,[100 30 20]);

Visualize the mesh.

show(scaledCuboid);
