transition.scaleBy( target, params )
target (required)

Table. Any object that behaves like a table, for example display objects.

params (required)

Table. A table that specifies the properties of the transition — see the next section for details.

Number. The xScale value to scale by.

yScale (optional)

Number. The yScale value to scale by.

time (optional)

Number. The time of the action.

tag (optional)

String. Specifies the transition tag. The transition library can pause, resume, or cancel transitions sharing the same tag.

transition (optional)

Function. Specifies the easing interpolation method. Default is linear.

delay (optional)

Examples

local square = display.newRect( 0, 0, 100, 100 )

transition.scaleBy( square, { xScale=2.0, yScale=1.5, time=2000 } )
