scale_points

Multiplies the current point_scale values of a point-based geometry by the specified scaling factor. This affects the size of instances, as well as point shapes. However, it does not affect the size of the geometric object as a whole.

Inputs

points

The geometry with points to be scaled.

weights

The proportion of the scale factor to apply.

• A weight of 0 leaves the current scale as is.
• A weight in the range 0—1 scales by a proportion of the given scale factor.
• A weight of 1 scales by the exact scale factor.
• A weight above 1 scales by more than the given scale factor.
• A weight below 0 scales negatively. This inverts any instanced shapes.

If nothing is connected, the default weight is 1 for all points. This is an interpreted auto port that accepts the following types:

• A single float is interpreted as a constant value for all points.
• An array<float> is interpreted as values per point. The array gets resized to match the number of points, if necessary.
• An array<bool> is interpreted as values of 0 (false) or 1 (true) per point.
• A string is interpreted as the name of an existing geo property, and its values are used.
• A ScalarField is sampled at each position of the geometry's components.
• An array<long> specifies the indices to be assigned a value of 1. Other indices are assigned 0.

scale

The factor to scale by. For example, 0.25 means four times smaller, and 4 means four times bigger.

This is an interpreted auto port that accepts the following types:

• Connect a single float to scale all points uniformly by the same factor.
• Connect an array<float> to scale each point uniformly by a different amount.
• Connect a single float3 to scale all points by the same XYZ factor.
• Connect an array<float3> to scale each point by a different XYZ factor.
• Connect a string to scale by the values of the property of that name (float or float3 per point).
• Connect a ScalarField or VectorField to scale by the value of the field at each point's position.

Outputs

out_points

The geometry with scaled points.

point_scale

The point_scale values that were set on the geometry.
