    Scale Method (Coordinate3D)
    In This Topic
    Scales the Coordinate3D by the given factor.
    Syntax
    public void Scale( 
       double scaleFactor
    )
    Public Sub Scale( _
       ByVal scaleFactor As Double _
    ) 

    Parameters

    scaleFactor
    The factor by which to scale.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    scaleFactor is NaN.
    Remarks
    Each component of the Coordinate3D is multiplied by scaleFactor. If the scale factor is positive, the direction is not changed. If the scale factor is negative, the direction is opposite the original direction. The Magnitude of the scaled Coordinate3D = original magnitude * Abs(scaleFactor).

    Scale

    Example
    Vector Operations
    // Easy 3D vectors
    Coordinate3D v = new Coordinate3D(0, 1, 0);
    // v.Magnitude = 1
    
    Coordinate3D other = new Coordinate3D(-1, 0, 0);
    // other.Magnitude = -1
    
    double dotProduct = v.DotProduct(other);      // dotProduct = 0
    
    Coordinate3D crossProduct = v.CrossProduct(other);
    // crossProduct.X = 0
    // crossProduct.Y = 0
    // crossProduct.Z = 1
    
    Coordinate3D addVector = v.AddCoordinate3D(other);
    // addVector.X = -1
    // addVector.Y = 1
    // addVector.Z = 0
    
    // Rotate around x-axis
    Coordinate3D w = v;
    w.Rotate(Math.PI, other);
    // w.X = 0
    // w.Y = -1
    // w.Z = 0
    
    w.Scale(0.5);
    // w.X = 0
    // w.Y = -0.5
    // w.Z = 0
    
    w.Scale(-4);
    // w.X = 0
    // ww.Y = 2
    // w.Z = 0
    // w.Magnitude = 2
    
    w.Move(3, 2, 0);
    // w.X = 3
    // w.Y = 4
    // w.Z = 0
    // w.Magnitude = 5
    
    
    Coordinate3D emptyVector = new Coordinate3D();
    // emptyVector = (0, 0, 0)
    emptyVector.SetEmpty();
    // emptyVector = (Nan, Nan, Nan)
    
    Coordinate3D c1 = new Coordinate3D(2, 3, 4);
    Coordinate3D c2 = new Coordinate3D(9, -1, 3);
    
    var result_add = c1 + c2;
    // result_add = (11, 2, 7)
    var result_sub = c1 - c2;
    // result_sub = (-7, 4, 1)
    
    var b = result_sub != result_add;
    // b = true
    
    result_add = emptyVector + c1;
    // result_add = (Nan, Nan, Nan)
    
    b = result_add == emptyVector;
    // b = true
