# PMGetScale(_:_:)

Obtains the scaling factor currently applied to the page and paper rectangles.

## Declaration

```swift
func PMGetScale(_ pageFormat: PMPageFormat, _ scale: UnsafeMutablePointer<Double>) -> OSStatus
```

## Parameters

- `pageFormat`: The page format object whose scaling factor you want to obtain.
- `scale`: A pointer to your double-precision variable. On return, the variable contains the scaling factor expressed as a percentage. For example, a value of 100.0 means 100 percent (that is, no scaling); a value of 50.0 means 50 percent scaling.

## Return Value

Return Value A result code. See Result Codes.
