How to apply scaling?

[Paul Krasucki <Pa...@bluematrix.com>]

I would like to read svg file and apply scaling transform to it, but not by
adding say <g transform="scale(.5, .5)"> but by actually applying transform
to the tree and saving the result as a new file in which there is no
transform, but the image is half of the size.

Is there a simple way of doing it with batik?

 

Thanks,
