      respectively.</p><p>For example, to animate an actor to twice its current scale

                       "scale-y", scale_y * 2);</pre></div><p>Alternatively, <span class="type">ClutterAnimator</span> or
      <span class="type">ClutterState</span> can be used to animate an actor's scale
      properties. See <a class="link" href="animations-scaling.html#animations-scaling-example-1" title="Example 5.14. Animated scaling of an actor using each of the scale gravities. Press any key to start the animation.">this
      example</a> which uses <span class="type">ClutterState</span> to animate
      scaling.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="idp75432960"></a>9.3. Discussion</h3></div></div></div><p>Scaling an actor is done through its <code class="varname">scale-x</code>
      and <code class="varname">scale-y</code> properties, each of which takes
      a <code class="code">double</code> value. A value of less than
      <code class="code">1.0</code> for an axis scales an actor down on that axis,
      reducing its apparent size; values greater than <code class="code">1.0</code>
      scale an actor up, increasing its apparent size.</p><p>Why "apparent" size? Because scaling applies a transform
      to an actor which changes how it appears on the
      stage, without changing its "real" size. Similarly, scaling an
      actor may transform its position: it could appear to move to a
      different position within its container,
      although it is "really" at its original position. Run
      <a class="link" href="animations-scaling.html#animations-scaling-example-1" title="Example 5.14. Animated scaling of an actor using each of the scale gravities. Press any key to start the animation.">the
      example</a> to see how size and position are
      transformed by scaling.</p><p>It can be useful to know an actor's
      <span class="emphasis"><em>transformed</em></span> position and size after scaling:
      for example, if you were implementing a reflowing layout manager
      which used scaling as part of its allocation algorithm.
      Here's an example of how to get these properties for an
      actor:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">gfloat transformed_x;
gfloat transformed_y;

gfloat transformed_width;
gfloat transformed_height;

clutter_actor_get_transformed_position (actor, &amp;transformed_x, &amp;transformed_y);
clutter_actor_get_transformed_size (actor, &amp;transformed_width, &amp;transformed_height);</pre></div><p>Note that you can scale an actor on both axes by the same
      amount (uniform scaling), or by a different amount on each axis
      (differential scaling).</p><p>Use <code class="function">clutter_actor_is_scaled()</code> to determine
      whether scaling has been applied to an actor: this function returns
      <code class="code">FALSE</code> if both <code class="varname">scale-x</code> and
      <code class="varname">scale-y</code> are <code class="code">1.0</code>; otherwise, it
      returns <code class="code">TRUE</code>.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="idp75443408"></a>9.3.1. Scaling vs. resizing</h4></div></div></div><p>Scaling changes the <span class="emphasis"><em>apparent</em></span> size
        of an actor, while leaving its real size unchanged. By contrast,
        resizing changes the <span class="emphasis"><em>real</em></span> size of the actor,
        by modifying its <code class="varname">width</code> and
        <code class="varname">height</code> properties.</p><p>Resizing and scaling produce the same visual
        effect, as both make an actor appear to be larger or
        smaller. Therefore, for most purposes, they are interchangeable
        if you just want to change an actor's apparent size.</p><p>So why would you scale an actor rather than resize it?</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>If you've scaled an actor, you can easily reset it
            to its original size, by setting its
            scale back to <code class="code">1.0</code> on both axes. By contrast,
            to reset a resized actor to its original size,
            you would have to track the original size manually: the
            actor doesn't make its original size accessible.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Scaling can easily change the apparent size
            of multiple actors inside a container. For example, say you
            wanted to shrink multiple actors inside a container
            to half their original size. There are two ways you
            could do this:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>The hard way would be to resize
                each actor individually. You couldn't just resize the container,
                as resizing a container doesn't resize its children: usually
                they will be clipped so that they are either partially or
                wholly hidden.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The easy way would be to set the container's scale
                to half its initial value: the actors
                in the container would retain their original sizes, but would
                appear at half size.</p></li></ol></div></li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="idp75453152"></a>9.3.2. Scaling, layouts and containers</h4></div></div></div><p>It is possible to scale actors inside containers. For
        example, if you were using a <span class="type">ClutterBox</span>
        which has a <span class="type">ClutterBoxLayout</span> layout manager,
        you could scale the children of that layout.</p><p>However, you should remain aware that layout managers
        don't take account of the scale of their children, only their
        size. So if you scale up an actor inside a layout manager,
        it may overlap other actors in the layout: the size allocated
        by the layout manager doesn't increase as an actor's scale
        increases.</p><p>Similarly, scaling an actor down doesn't reduce the space
        it will be allocated by a layout.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="idp75456512"></a>9.3.3. Setting the scale center</h4></div></div></div><p>An actor's scale center is the point around which
        scaling occurs: when you scale the actor, it will "shrink"
        into (if scale &lt; 1.0) or "expand" out of (if scale &gt; 1.0)
        its scale center.</p><p>You can change an actor's scale center using
        either gravity (a named position on the actor; for example, the
        middle of the top edge of the actor is
        <code class="constant">CLUTTER_GRAVITY_NORTH</code>); or
        x,y coordinates relative to the actor's anchor point (by default,
        the anchor point for an actor is at <code class="code">0,0</code>).</p><p>Setting scale gravity has the same consequences as
        setting both the <code class="varname">scale-center-x</code> and
        <code class="varname">scale-center-y</code> properties for an actor.
        For example, <code class="constant">CLUTTER_GRAVITY_NORTH_EAST</code>
        sets the scale center to <code class="code">&lt;width of the actor&gt;, 0</code>,
        relative to the actor's anchor point (defaults to the top-right
        corner of the actor). However, the advantage of scale
        gravities is that they change with the actor: so if the
        actor is resized, you don't have to manually reset the scale
        center. This means that <code class="constant">CLUTTER_GRAVITY_NORTH_EAST</code>
        will always represent the top-right corner of the actor,
        regardless of how it is scaled or resized. The same is true
        of each of the other scale gravities.</p><p>If you're animating an actor's scale but want a different
        scale center, set it before the animation begins. One way to
        do this is to leave the actor's scale unchanged, but with
        a different scale center:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">gdouble scale_x;
gdouble scale_y;

/* get the actor's current scale */
clutter_actor_get_scale (actor, &amp;scale_x, &amp;scale_y);

/* set scale center using x,y coordinates, leaving scale unchanged;
 * the actor's size here is assumed to be 200x200
 */
clutter_actor_set_scale_full (actor,
                              scale_x,
                              scale_y,
                              100.0,  /* center x */
                              100.0   /* center y */);

/* set scale center using gravity, leaving scale unchanged */
clutter_actor_set_scale_with_gravity (actor,
                                      scale_x,
                                      scale_y,
                                      CLUTTER_GRAVITY_CENTER);</pre></div><p>Another approach is to set scale center properties
        via GObject, which doesn't require you to figure out the
        actor's scale first:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">/* set scale center using x,y coordinates */
g_object_set (actor,
              "scale-center-x", 100.0, /* center x */
              "scale-center-y", 100.0, /* center y */
              NULL);

/* set scale center using gravity */
g_object_set (actor,
              "scale-gravity", CLUTTER_GRAVITY_CENTER,
              NULL);</pre></div><p>Once the scale center is set, you can animate the
        scaling as per usual.</p><p>It is even possible to animate the
        <code class="varname">scale-center-*</code> properties, which can
        produce interesting, though slightly
        unpredictable, effects. It's usually better to change the
        scale center before the animation starts.</p><p><a class="link" href="animations-scaling.html#animations-scaling-example-1" title="Example 5.14. Animated scaling of an actor using each of the scale gravities. Press any key to start the animation.">The
        example</a> cycles through the available scale gravities,
        showing the effect on the animation of each of the scale
        centers.</p><p>The <a class="link" href="animations-scaling.html#animations-scaling-example-2" title="Example 5.15. Animated scaling (up and down) of a texture in response to button presses. Call with the path to an image as the first argument.">second
        example</a> shows how to combine scaling in and out on a
        texture, in response to mouse button presses. In this case,
        the scale gravity remains at <code class="constant">CLUTTER_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST</code>
        (i.e. at the anchor point of the actor). However, the anchor
        point is moved to the coordinates of each double click on button 1
        (usually the left mouse button) or button 3 (usually the right
        mouse button); which in turn automatically moves the scale center
        before the texture is scaled. As a result, the texture
        "expands" or "contracts" around the clicked point,
        while the point remains still.</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>One final caveat about scale centers: if an actor is
          already scaled, the scale center coordinates are relative to
          the <span class="emphasis"><em>real size</em></span> of the actor, rather than
          its <span class="emphasis"><em>transformed</em></span> size. This can result in
          a "jumping" effect if you change the scale center on
          a scaled actor.</p><p>For example, you might set the scale gravity of an actor
          to <code class="constant">CLUTTER_GRAVITY_WEST</code>, then
          scale the actor to <code class="code">0.5</code> on both axes. Later, you
          change the actor's scale gravity to
