openalea.phenomenal.calibration.transformations.scale_matrix(factor, origin=None, direction=None)

Return matrix to scale by factor around origin in direction.

Use factor -1 for point symmetry.

>>> v = (numpy.random.rand(4, 5) - 0.5) * 20
>>> v[3] = 1
>>> S = scale_matrix(-1.234)
>>> numpy.allclose(numpy.dot(S, v)[:3], -1.234*v[:3])
True
>>> factor = random.random() * 10 - 5
>>> origin = numpy.random.random(3) - 0.5
>>> direct = numpy.random.random(3) - 0.5
>>> S = scale_matrix(factor, origin)
>>> S = scale_matrix(factor, origin, direct)
