 ==== Scale ====
-Shapes can be scaled by any factor. Shapes are enlarged (increases) or shrunk (diminishes) by a scale factor. The result of scaling is a similar shape (in the geometric sense) to the original.
+Shapes can be scaled by any factor, enlarging (increasing) or shrinking (diminishing) shapes by the ''factors'' about X, Y, and Z axis. The result of scaling is a similar shape (in the geometric sense) to the original.
 //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)|Learn about the scaling shapes at Wikipedia.org]]//
 Defaults:
-  * factor : 1.0 or [1.0,1.0,1.0]
+  * factors : [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
 <code javascript>
-let obj = sphere(5)
+const myshape = sphere({radius: 5})
-obj = scale(2,obj)
+const newshape = scale([2, 4, 6], myshape)
-obj = scale([1,2,3],obj)
 </code>
-The CSG library functions can also be used. //NOTE: Deprecated in the V2 API//
+In addition, there are simple versions of the same function for scaling about a single axis.
 <code javascript>
-obj.scale([1,2,3])
+const myshape = sphere({radius: 5})
+let newshape = scaleX(2, myshape)
+newshape = scaleY(4, newshape)
+newshape = scaleZ(6, newshape)
