 Changes the size of an object
 You either expand or compress the

 Achieved by multiplying the original
coordinates of the object with the
scaling factor

 three coordinates are used
 original coordinates are (X, Y, Z)
 scaling factors are (SX,SY,Sz) respectively
 produced coordinates are (X’, Y’, Z’)

Scaling about a fixed point P0 (x0,y0,z0) can
be accomplished by the following:
1. translating P0 to the origin
2. scaling the object
3. translating P0 back to original position
