5@5 scaleTo: 10@10 *=> 2.0@2.0* 10@10 scaleTo: 5@5 *=> 0.5@0.5* 10@10 scaleTo: 5@10 *=> 1.0@1.0 (wat)* 5@10 scaleTo: 10@0 *=> **0.6666666666666666@0.0 (wat?)* 5@0 scaleTo: 10@0 *=> ZeroDivide (still, wat?)* The idea of the method is nice, especially result as float point, so it can be nicely used for UI. I just don't understand why by contract it does not work with zeros. Imagine we have two UI elements of arbitrary extent, meaning that 5@0 is completely valid extent. Then imagine we have another UI element with extent 10@0. I would expect to have at least any valid scaling factor that would give correct result if applied. For example for corner cases result could be: 5@10 scaleTo: 10@0 => 2.0@0.0 (to scale 10 to 0 we need to multiply by 0) 5@0 scaleTo: 10@10 => ZeroDivide 5@0 scaleTo: 10@0 => 2.0@1.0 (when scaling factor is 1.0 it means that scaled arguments are equal, so the same rule can be applied when scaling 0 to 0. Please realize, scaling is not a division!) Otherwise this method is completely useless (no senders, btw) *So, let's discuss. :)* Cheers, Alex
