Change Dimensions
If the polygon point mode (see above) is activated, switch to the stretching mode by pressing Tab, and select the object by clicking its border. Then position the mouse pointer on one of the black markers at the sides or corners of the rectangle around the selected object, and hold the mouse button down. The mouse pointer turns into a two-headed arrow. Now you can enlarge or reduce the entire object by moving the mouse in the appropriate direction.

Dragging the corner markers enlarges or reduces the object while maintaining its proportions.
You can also adapt the size of an object by pressing SHIFT and/or CTRL.
