Hi Bert,
thanks for your hint.
I tried WarpBlt class>>rotate:degrees:center:scaleBy:smoothing: and it
worked as expected. But I also found that I just had a slight mistake
and my initial try with Form>>magnifyBy: and aPoint (with x and y
scaling) was actually also successful. I am using this now.
Thanks,
Matthias
P.S.: I had to fix Form>>magnifyBy: in my Squeak version as it
initially did not work with Points as advertised.
