D3.js transform.scale() Function

The transform.scale() function in D3.js library is used to get the transformation whose scale k₁ is equal to k₀k, where k₀ is the transform’s scale.

Syntax:

 transform.scale(k)

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below.

  • k: This parameter is the scale argument.

Return value: This function returns the transformed zoom behaviour.

Below programs illustrate the transform.scale() function in D3.js library.
