Syntax

/ scale = factor

Parameters

factor A positive number representing a scaling factor to multiply the stimulus size by.

Remarks

This attribute allows visual stimuli to be scaled by an arbitrary multiple of their size on the screen. The default (no scale) is 1.0. Values smaller than 1.0 reduce the size of the stimulus while values larger than 1.0 increase the size.

Examples

The following text is scaled 1.5 times when presented:

<text option1>
/ items=("1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg")
/ scale=1.5
</text>
