Scaling objects

Scaling

• Always proportional — the object and all its contents increase or decrease together.
• For example, scaling a visual enlarges axis labels, titles, and data points at the same time.
• Use the Scale cursor from the toolbar or the K keyboard shortcut.

Resizing

• Only changes the bounding box, without altering the proportions of internal contents.
• For example, resizing a visual stretches the space it takes up, but the labels and points remain the same size.
• To resize, drag the corners or edges of the selected object.

Precision control

For exact placement and dimensions, use the numeric fields in the sidebar:

• X / Y – Position of the object on the canvas.
• W / H – Width and height.
• θ (theta) – Rotation angle in degrees.

This is especially useful for creating report-ready layouts where consistency matters.
