This transformers has the same functionality as Scaler-CenterPoint transformer written by Hans van der Maarel .

Imagine, you're not satisfied with the results produced by SymbolFiller, let's say, symbols are too small. The regular Scaler transformer can change a feature's size, but it also will change its coordinates. ByPlaceScaler doesn't change feature location, it only changes its size according to scaling parameters:

,

NB: please be careful using this transformer - it scales features considering that their origins are at the center of MBR. This is not always true for symbols - they may have their origins in any other place (left bottom corner, for example). Of course, this transformer can be easily modified for other origin locations or for using an origin extracted from the source format (where applicable).

Creation of this transformer was inspired by our devoted user [User:Saint-FME|SRG].
