SCALE THE MATRIX BY A NUMBER

Multiplies every element of a matrix by a scalar factor, returning a scaled matrix of identical dimensions. Use this worker whenever a uniform scaling operation is needed on a matrix within a transformation pipeline.

When to use

Classification: process.

Tagged: element_wise, linear_algebra, matrix, multiply, scalar, scale, transformation.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Matrix 1 matrix1 matrix   Input matrix to be scaled; all elements will be multiplied by the scalar factor — provide any 2-D numeric matrix (dense or sparse).
Multiplication Factor multiplication_factor scalar   Dimensionless scalar value by which every element of Matrix 1 is multiplied; e.g. 0.001 to convert mm to m, or –1 to negate the matrix.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
matrix_scalarmultiply_output_1 matrix_scalarmultiply_output_1 matrix Resulting matrix after element-wise scalar multiplication; same shape and type as the input matrix, with all values scaled by the multiplication factor.
