# scale(x:y:anchor:)

Scales this shape without changing its bounding frame.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func scale(x: CGFloat = 1, y: CGFloat = 1, anchor: UnitPoint = .center) -> ScaledShape<Self>
```

## Parameters

- `x`: The multiplication factor used to resize this shape along its x-axis.
- `y`: The multiplication factor used to resize this shape along its y-axis.

## Return Value

Return Value A scaled form of this shape.

## Discussion

Discussion Both the x and y multiplication factors halve their respective dimension’s size when set to 0.5, maintain their existing size when set to 1, double their size when set to 2, and so forth.
