If you're not used to thinking in Cartesian graphs / coordinate systems, maybe it would be helpful to think about the Y direction as a person on their tip-toes reaching for the sky trying to be tall and take up as much vertical space as possible while the X could be a person trying to prevent someone from walking around them and take up as much horizontal space as possible. These parameters are in alphabetical order.

scale(x, y)
