Returns:

pattern

Description:
|
Applies a random scale to an existing pattern, merging with any existing scaling or, optionally (with
merge=#f), replacing it.
|
|
|
pat specifies a pattern.
|
|
|
min_scale and
max_scale arguments specify limits for the scale values. Both
min_scale and
max_scale must be greater than zero. They may be given as gvectors when non-uniform scaling is required.
|
|
|
root specifies the neutral point about which the scaling takes place (i.e., the point on the seed entity that remains fixed while the entity's dimensions are altered).
|
|
|
If
merge is specified as false (#f), the existing pattern is replaced. The default vaule is true (#t).
