scalePart()

Note:

Doesn't return the negative scale on any axis because it isn't possible to obtain this data from the matrix alone.

Returns the scale of a 3x3 or 4x4 matrix.

Returns Type: Vector object.

Sample Code

# import Mathutils

import Mathutils

# create a Matrix

matrix1 = Mathutils.Matrix([ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0],[ 0.0, 1.0, 0.0],[ 1.0, 0.0, 0.0])

# get the scale

matrixScale = matrix1.scalePart()

The Blender Game engine uses the Python programming language to extent the capabilities of the game engine. The Python programming language is open source and free to use, even for commercial products. Python is a multi-platform programing language that runs on Windows, Linux/Unix and Mac OS X operating systems. A general-purpose programming language, Python is a high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language that beginners find easy to learn.
