Description

Multiplies each component of the Vector by a given Scale factor.  If the scale factor is positive, the resulting scaled vector has the same direction as the original vector.  If the scale factor is negative, the resulting scaled vector has the opposite direction as the original vector.  The Magnitude of the scaled vector=OriginalMagnitude * Abs(ScaleFactor).

Remarks

Scaling a Vector by 1 / Magnitude effectively Normalizes the vector and results in a unit vector.
