title: Snippet.scale()
---

The `Snippet.scale()` method allows you to scale a snippet. Under the hood, it
sets the `data-scale` property.

## Signature

```js
Snippet snippet.scale(scale, overwrite=true)
```

:::tip
This method is chainable as it returns the `Snippet` object
:::

## Example

<Example caption="An example of the Snippet.clone() method">
```js
({ Point, Path, paths, Snippet, snippets, part }) => {

for (const i of [1,2,3,4,5,6]) {
snippets[`demo${i}`] = new Snippet(
"logo",
new Point(30\*i, 0)
).scale(i/10)
}

// Prevent clipping
paths.diag = new Path()
.move(new Point(0,-30))
.move(new Point(200,20))

return part
}

```
</Example>

```
