Scale

What It Does

The Scale Vector2 node multiplies a 2D vector by a scalar value, changing its length while preserving its direction. It's useful for resizing vectors or adjusting their magnitude.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
Vector	The 2D vector to scale	Vector2	Yes
Scalar	The multiplication factor	Number	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
Value	The scaled vector	Vector2

How to Use It

1. Drag the Scale Vector2 node into your graph.

2. Connect a 2D vector (like [10, 20]) to the "Vector" input.

3. Set the "Scalar" input to your desired scale factor (like 0.5 or 2) or use the default (1).

4. The output will be a vector with each component multiplied by the scalar (e.g., [5, 10] or [20, 40]).

Scale Vector2 Example

Tips

• A scalar value of 1 leaves the vector unchanged.

• Negative scalar values reverse the vector's direction.

• Combine with Normalize to create vectors of exact length.

Use Cases

• Responsive Design: Scale dimensions based on screen size or container proportions.

• Animation: Adjust movement vectors for speed control.

• Visual Adjustments: Resize vector-based graphics while preserving proportions.
