Scaling multiple paths with raphael

Question

I\'m trying to use Raphael to create a map tool similar to this example in the webpage.

I have an svg file of the map I want to use, and the provinces are all separate p

Answer 1

scale can accept four parameters:

scale(x, y, cx, cy);

where cx and cy are coordinates of the centre of scaling. By default it is in the middle of the shape. So, to scale two shapes you need to scale then relative to the same centre.

Answer 2

You could join your 2 path like this :

province.a = paper.path("M 1195.23,2765.05 1176.44,2753.8 1182.93,2743.86 1198.21,2745.13 1201.92,2738.14 1239.79,2738.32 1263.62,2752.62 1284.76,2743.95 1317.8,2750.74 1367.35,2746.42 1392.66,2715.11 1400.21,2696.4 1414.4,2707.23 1451.71,2707 1456.53,2690.06 1486.98,2691.43 1517.68,2681.6 1536.64,2650.12 1560.81,2641.94 1566.44,2625.91 1655.76,2577.95 1652.86,2580.91 1640.92,2614.69 1610.92,2642.31 1590.74,2684.67 1565.32,2702.68 1559.58,2720.44 1521.84,2784.07 1477.67,2814.72 1461.87,2821.15 1442.9,2853.64 1440.5,2874.94 1420.09,2879.49 1381.85,2912.96 1374.51,2932.58 1336.52,2969.11 1318.56,2959.93 1310.72,2940.64 1294.49,2938.23 1287.2,2923.45 1265.55,2923.98 1246.43,2913.8 1239.54,2901.7 1213.98,2894.24 1206.33,2881.17 1214.32,2876.4 1199.89,2858.79 1204.99,2841.58 1220.87,2835.67 1210.72,2812.63 1232.15,2807.48 1225.15,2793.26 1231.23,2781.47 1213.41,2762.4 1195.23,2765.05 M 1050.73,2867.78 1046.35,2845.33 1040.53,2832.74 1044.23,2819.35 1066.03,2819.42 1087.07,2805.18 1094.97,2784.45 1104.23,2779.31 1115.05,2774.95 1131.12,2800.44 1146.19,2792.66 1146.45,2777.1 1166.57,2777.52 1166.63,2804.27 1194.54,2818.11 1210.74,2812.67 1220.87,2835.67 1204.99,2841.58 1199.89,2858.79 1214.32,2876.4 1206.33,2881.17 1213.98,2894.24 1239.54,2901.7 1246.43,2913.8 1265.55,2923.98 1287.2,2923.45 1294.49,2938.23 1310.72,2940.64 1318.56,2959.93 1336.52,2969.11 1320.71,2984.32 1320.22,2994.45 1309.88,3001.29 1297.83,2993.4 1293.02,2997.09 1289.27,3013.92 1283.96,3022.6 1275.93,3022.85 1266.2,3024.26 1259.83,3020.74 1253.98,3024.67 1246.93,3031.3 1237.88,3017.88 1214.41,3015.12 1185.95,3005.82 1174.43,3017.4 1174.77,3035.97 1170.62,3043.42 1158.95,3043.06 1145.56,3029.7 1137.74,3036.82 1127.73,3037.17 1121.47,3030.56 1114.84,3035.16 1101.49,3035.03 1102.89,3011.96 1123.59,2990.26 1137.04,2989.94 1130.85,2973.55 1120.31,2972.88 1114.08,2984.93 1100.47,2983.63 1095.19,2970.61 1085.65,2970.31 1077.68,2950.18 1061.43,2942.38 1057.59,2940.54 1055.36,2924.83 1041.79,2915.84 1041.19,2898.89 1048.93,2884.2 1032.89,2877.32 1038.29,2867.02 1050.73,2867.78 z");

But then you'll have only one province...
