General ⇒ how to use pass in environment parameter to \scalebox?

[latexian]

Here is my trivial example that could not be compiled.
The idea is to pass in the environment parameter to \scalebox.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\newsavebox{\tempbox}
\newenvironment{myscalebox}[1]
{\begin{lrbox}{\tempbox}}
{\end{lrbox}\scalebox{#1}{\usebox{\tempbox}}}

\begin{document}
\begin{myscalebox}{10}
hello world
\end{myscalebox}
\end{document}

Let me know which part of the code did not follow the rule.


Thank you in advance.

You cannot use environment arguments in the end code. Save the argument in a variable:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{myscalebox}[1]{%
  \newcommand*{\scalingfactor}{#1}%
  \begin{lrbox}{\tempbox}%
}{%
  \end{lrbox}%
  \scalebox{\scalingfactor}{\usebox{\tempbox}}%
}

@phi,

Thank you for your response.

It works the way I want.
