scaleElement

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Scales content without affecting layout.

Lets you mirror content by specifying a negative scale on a single axis.

#scale(x: -100%)[This is mirrored.]
#scale(x: -100%, reflow: true)[This is mirrored.]

Parameters

Parameters are the inputs to a function. They are specified in parentheses after the function name.

factor

auto or length or ratio

The scaling factor for both axes, as a positional argument. This is just an optional shorthand notation for setting x and y to the same value.

Default: 100%

x

auto or length or ratio

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

The horizontal scaling factor.

The body will be mirrored horizontally if the parameter is negative.

Default: 100%

y

auto or length or ratio

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

The vertical scaling factor.

The body will be mirrored vertically if the parameter is negative.

Default: 100%

origin

alignment

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

The origin of the transformation.

View example

A#box(scale(75%)[A])A \
B#box(scale(75%, origin: bottom + left)[B])B

Default: center + horizon

reflow

bool

Settable

Settable parameters can be customized for all following uses of the function with a set rule.

Whether the scaling impacts the layout.

If set to false, the scaled content will be allowed to overlap other content. If set to true, it will compute the new size of the scaled content and adjust the layout accordingly.

View example

Hello #scale(x: 20%, y: 40%, reflow: true)[World]!

Default: false

body
