I'm multiplying the polygon list by a 3x3 matrix.
(I posted this before, but just in case...)
array[dims] checks the dimensions of its argument, threeD changes a scalar
or 3-vector into a 3x3, and scaleZ multiplies the polygon list by that
matrix. The multiplication is pts.matrix; pts is n x 3 and matrix is 3x3,
so the result is n x 3 again, still suitable as the argument to Polygon.
(This could be modified to work for 2D plots as well, but I haven't.)
Clear[scale, array, threeD]
array[dims_List] = ArrayQ[#] && Dimensions[#] == dims &;
threeD[m_?(array[{3, 3}])] := m
threeD[m_?(array[{3}])] := DiagonalMatrix@m
threeD[f_?NumericQ] := DiagonalMatrix@{1, 1, f}
scale[graphics_, m_] :=
graphics /. Polygon[pts_] :> Polygon[pts.threeD[m]]
gobject =
Graphics3D[{Polygon[{{0., 0.5, 1.28}, {0., 0., 1.}, {0.5, 0.,
1.28}, {0.5, 0.5, 1.64}}],
Polygon[{{0.5, 0.5, 1.64}, {0.5, 0., 1.28}, {1., 0., 2.71}, {1.,
0.5, 3.49}}]}]
scale[gobject, 1/3]
scale[gobject, {1, 2, 1}]
scale[gobject, RandomReal[{1/2, 3/2}, {3, 3}]]
