Media density requires an inverse rescaling when changing the scale of the
container object. And df3 is going to also act in a manner such as image_map
does when transforming it. You'll want to think in those terms then. For
example, adding "translate 0.5 scale 0.5" to the end of the density
statement (or block) and then multiplying the container object scale by 2
should show the same thing as it would if no changes were made.

You probably had some typical confusion going on. I saw this message after
replying to your latest question.
