Question: In LibGDX, I want to make a text animation for my game. Therefore, I want that my labels gets larger with time. But if I use the `scaleTo()` method, nothing happens whereas other Actions like `moveTo()` work fine.

```
label1 = new Label("Test text", new Label.LabelStyle(font, Color.BLACK));
label2.addAction(Actions.parallel(Actions.moveTo(500, 300, 2.0f),Actions.scaleTo(0.1f, 0.1f,2.0f)));

label2 = new Label("Test text 2", new Label.LabelStyle(font, Color.BLACK));
label2.addAction(Actions.parallel(Actions.moveTo(500, 300, 2.0f),Actions.scaleTo(0.1f, 0.1f,2.0f)));

stage.addActor(label1);
stage.addActor(label2);

```

How can I make my labels scale? Thank you in advance!

Answer: 
For performance reason most scene2d.ui groups have transform set to false by default.

If you want to scale, you can use Container which is useful for setting the size and alignment of a single widget.

```
private Container<Label> container;

@Override
public void create() {
    stage=new Stage();

    Label label1 = new Label("Test text", new Label.LabelStyle(font, Color.BLACK));

    container=new Container<Label>(label1);
    container.setTransform(true);   // for enabling scaling and rotation
    container.size(100, 60);
    container.setOrigin(container.getWidth() / 2, container.getHeight() / 2);
    container.setPosition(100,200);
    container.setScale(3);  //scale according to your requirement

    stage.addActor(container);
}

@Override
public void render() {
    super.render();

    Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1,1,1,1);
    gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    stage.draw();
    stage.act();
}

```

Add your Action on container instead of Label.

```
container.addAction(Actions.parallel(Actions.moveTo(500, 300, 2.0f),Actions.scaleTo(0.1f, 0.1f,2.0f)));

```
Labels don't directly support scaling. The easy way to solve this is put the label in a Container, `setTransform(true)` on the Container, and add your scale action to the Container.
