Parameters:
stack: A reference to a stack or an expression that evaluates to a stack.

Description:
Use the <scaleFactor> property when developing to scale down stacks that are larger than the available screen space.

We do not recommend setting the <scaleFactor> property above 2. The higher the value, the more pixels must be rendered. For example, setting the <scaleFactor> property to 10 will cause 100 times the number of pixels to be rendered causing the IDE to run slowly.
