Can content scale?

[psads-git]

I am using the following code to insert a scaled typst math symbol into a circle. The scale function appears to have no effect at all on content. Is there any way of circumvent that?

#import "@preview/cetz:0.2.2"

#cetz.canvas({
  import cetz.draw: *

  scale(150%)
  circle((0,0), name: "plus1")

  scale(250%) // it has no effect
  content("plus1.center", $plus$)

})

#scale(275%, [$plus$])

No, this is not possible right now. Cetz uses a transformation matrix to transform coordinates, but Typst's provides no function to pass such a matrix to transform Content. You have to use Typst's native scale function inside the content call.

Thanks, @johannes-wolf. I had already tried that, but got compiling errors with

content("plus1.center", scale(275%, [$plus$]))

Maybe cetz scale function is overriding typst scale function.

It is, you have to store scale in a variable before import draw: *. With Typst >= 12 you can access native functions via some prefix, I think.
