    Hi
    I am a beginner at SKILL. I have a set of mixed shapes on a layout
    (rect,ellipse, polygons) which I want to resize on the fly. Is there
    an easy way to do it by calling one Skill function or do I have to
    specifically traverse over shapes, see what type it is and then
    increase attributes like width etc.
    Thanks
    Jay

    Hi
    It depends what you mean by resize. Do you mean scale by a given factor (1), or do you mean grow
    each edge by a fixed amount (2), or do you mean stretch in some direction (3) or ... (4) ?

    Here's some clues :

    (1) leSizeShape
    (2) dbLayerSize
    (3) leStretchShape
    (4) ...

    Thanks Stéphane

    I was able to use leSizeScale to get what I was looking for.
    Thanks a lot.
