Hi Patrick,
What do you meany you want to make it bigger or smaller in proportion?!
You want to stretch it in X and not in Y for instance?
If so then mulyiply X data to a constant grater than 1.
Let me know exactly what we're talking about.
Tnx

Another technique you should know about (although it might be overkill for this purpose) is hgtransform. This creates an object which you parent your mesh to. This object has a Matrix property you can use to scale, rotate, and translate your mesh:
g = hgtransform
surf(peaks,'Parent',g)
set(g,'Matrix',makehgtform('scale',10))
If you do help on makehgtform, you'll find all of the different transformations you can do with this.
This approach can be very helpful when you have more than one mesh and you're trying to place them relative to each other.
