| return type | Array ( GeoJSON bounding box ) |

| syntax | $.geo.scaleBy( Array bbox ( GeoJSON bounding box ), Number scale ) |
| usage | var twiceAsBig = $.geo.scaleBy( bbox, 2 ) |
The scaleBy method creates a new bbox with the same center as the original but having a width and height that are both multiplied by the scale argument.
The scale argument is a percentage increase or decrease. This means that supplying 2 will increase the size of the bbox by 200%, which if thinking in terms of a map's view, would zoom out. Supplying .5 will decrease the size of the bbox to half its original size.
The scale argument must be greater than zero.
