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)
```
:::tipThis 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
}
```
