    <p>Use the <b>scale</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> to change the appearance of <glossary tag="EPS">EPS objects</glossary> or <glossary tag="video clip">video clips</glossary>.</p><p/><p><b>Value:</b></p><p>The <b>scale</b> of an <glossary tag="EPS">EPS object</glossary> or <glossary tag="video clip">video clip</glossary> is a positive number.</p><p/><p>By default, the <b>scale</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> of newly created <glossary tag="object">objects</glossary> is set to 1.</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>The <b>scale</b> is the natural size of the <glossary tag="object">object's</glossary> content divided by the size of the rectangle the content is placed in. For example, if the <i>ratio</i> is 1, a <glossary tag="video clip">video clip</glossary> plays at the movie's normal size; if the <i>ratio</i> is 2, the <glossary tag="video clip">video clip</glossary> is blown up by a <glossary tag="factor">factor</glossary> of 2.</p><p/><p>For EPS objects, this property is supported only on Unix systems with Display PostScript installed.</p>
