So how can I find out what the dimension of the path of a function is? Not scaling it, it also looked pretty small, so I am guessing (1pt,1pt). > Multiplying such a path with (x,y) gives an object with size (1*x,1*y). > In general: if the bounding box of an object has the size (a,b) and you > scale it with (x,y), the resulting object has a size of (ax,by). That's > all the magic. but if you use numbers with a unit than it should not be multiplied but expanded to that value, should not it?

As written above it is still not entirely clear to me. I hope you can remedy my last confusion.
