> **_SCALE_**

Scale a point distribution specified by** **ifirst,ilast,istride according to
the scale factors iscale,jscale, and kscale.&nbsp_place_holder; One can
substitute the syntax** pse**t get pset_name&nbsp_place_holder; for the
ifirst, ilast, istride variable to access a pset.&nbsp_place_holder; The
letters i,j, and k in the scale factors correspond to coordinates specified by
one of the geometry types [**xyz** (Cartesian), **rtz** (cylindrical), **rtp**
(spherical)].&nbsp_place_holder;&nbsp_place_holder; For example, if geometry =
**rtz** then iscale = radial coordinate, jscale = theta coordiante, and kscale
= z coordinate.

If geometry = **rtp** the iscale = radial coordiante, jscale = theta
coordinate and kscale = phi coordinate. If the scaling option is **relative**
then the scaling factors are unitless multipliers with reference to some
geometric center (xcen,ycen,zcen).&nbsp_place_holder;&nbsp_place_holder; If
the scaling option is **absolute** then the scaling factors are constants
added on to the existing coordinates.&nbsp_place_holder; That is, absolute is
really a translation rather than a rescale. **FORMAT:** **scale**/ifirst,ilast
