         <ScaleTransform             Center="0,0"             ScaleX="2"             ScaleY="2" /> 

or:

     <ScaleTransform             ScaleX="2"             ScaleY="2" >             <ScaleTransform.Center>                 <Point X="0" Y="0" />             </ScaleTransform.Center>         </ScaleTransform> 

<ScaleTransform .../> scales an element by the specified factor. The scaling can be applied in both the x- and y-directions. Example 11-4 applies a scaling transformation to a Rectangle, effectively doubling its size (Figure 11-2).

Attributes

Center (optional)

This attribute represents the center point of the scaling operation. The default is a Point at (0,0).

ScaleX (optional)

This Double value represents the factor by which to scale the width of the element. 1.0 is equivalent to the original size, or 100 percent. A factor of 0.5 would reduce the width by 50 percent, and a factor of 1.5 would increase the width by 150 percent.

ScaleY (optional)

This Double value represents the factor by which to scale the height of the element. 1.0 is equivalent to the original size, or 100 percent. A factor of 0.5 would reduce the height by 50 percent, and a factor of 1.5 would increase the height by 150 percent.
