{title:Description}

{pstd}
Option {cmd:scale()} makes all the text, markers, and line widths on a graph
larger or smaller.


{title:Option}

{phang}
{cmd:scale(}{it:#}{cmd:)}
    specifies a multiplier that affects the size of all text, markers, and
    line widths on a graph.  {cmd:scale(1)} is the default.

{pmore}
    To increase the size of all text, markers, and line widths on a graph by
    20%, specify {cmd:scale(1.2)}.  To reduce the size of all text, markers,
    and line widths on a graph by 20%, specify {cmd:scale(.8)}.


{title:Remarks}

{pstd}
Under {hi:Advanced use} in {it:{help marker_label_options}}, we showed
the following graph,

	{cmd}. twoway (scatter lexp gnppc, mlabel(country) mlablv(pos))
		 (line hat gnppc, sort)
		 , xsca(log) xlabel(.5 5 10 15 20 25 30, grid)
		   legend(off)
		   title("Life expectancy vs. GNP per capita")
		   subtitle("North, Central, and South America")
		   note("Data source:  World bank, 1998")
		   ytitle("Life expectancy at birth (years)"){txt}
	  {it:({stata "gr_example2 markerlabel3":click to run})}{txt}
{* graph markerlabel3}{...}

{pstd}
Here is the same graph with the size of all text, markers, and line widths
increased by 10%:

	{cmd}. twoway (scatter lexp gnppc, mlabel(country) mlablv(pos))
		 (line hat gnppc, sort)
		 , xsca(log) xlabel(.5 5 10 15 20 25 30, grid)
		   legend(off)
		   title("Life expectancy vs. GNP per capita")
		   subtitle("North, Central, and South America")
		   note("Data source:  World bank, 1998")
		   ytitle("Life expectancy at birth (years)")
		   scale(1.1){txt}{right:<-- {it:new}  }
	  {it:({stata "gr_example2 markerlabel4":click to run})}{txt}
{* graph markerlabel4}{...}

{pstd}
All we did was add the option {cmd:scale(1.1)} to the original command.
