<Example caption="An example of the Snippet.scale() method">

({ 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
}
```
