Important: The stats package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Statistics instead.

The function xscale of the subpackage stats[statplots] changes the scale of the x coordinate of a 2-D or 3-D plot structure by multiplying every x coordinate element by the value in amount. Similarly, yscale and zscale change the scale of the y and z coordinates respectively.

This function can be used with other plots in order to modify the display output.  It can also be used in conjunction with plots[display] to show various plots on the same axes.

The command with(stats[statplots]) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{stats}\left[\mathrm{statplots}\right]\right)\:$

$p≔\mathrm{plot}\left('x^2'\,'x'=-3..3\right)\:$

$\mathrm{xscale}\left(3\,p\right)$

$\mathrm{plots}\left[\mathrm{display}\right]\left(\left\{p\,\mathrm{xscale}\left(3\,p\right)\right\}\right)$

$p≔\mathrm{plots}\left[\mathrm{display}\right]\left(\mathrm{plottools}\left[\mathrm{icosahedron}\right]\left(\right)\right)\:$

$\mathrm{plots}\left[\mathrm{display}\right]\left(\left\{p\,\mathrm{xshift}\left(5\,\mathrm{zscale}\left(30\,p\right)\right)\right\}\right)$
