I'm having difficulty resizing the canvas in Raphael.js. I thought I could simply use:
var paper = Raphael("paper", 100, 100);
and this would create a canvas using the ID "paper" with a width and height of 100 pixels. However when I try this the canvas doesn't initialize with these settings. I'm using some of the free icons on the Raphael.js website and I was wondering how I would change the size of the icons? Do I have to use the transform function as well? If so could somebody please create a jsfiddle example.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well, but Raphael.js is completely new to me.
EDIT:
I tried your suggestions, but to no avail. Here's the code I'm working on. Maybe I have a conflict or something. Any ideas?

To answer your exact question in the title, you would use paper.setSize(width, height)
From the Raphael docs:
Your other questions have different answers.
var paper = Raphael("paper", 100, 100);
requires that you have some DOM element with the id="paper"
already on your page. That DOM element should have width and height enough to hold your canvas (in this case, 100x100). Or, you can leave off the width and the height and it will take on the width and height of the container (very convenient). You can also produce a canvas without a DOM element by putting in all four dimensions, such as var paper = Raphael(0, 0, 100, 100);
to make a 100x100 canvas at the top left of the document.
To resize the Raphael icons, you can use the transform function. For example icon.transform("s2");
to make it twice as large.
This fiddle shows how to create a Raphael canvas and put the pencil icon on it, make it yellow, and double-sized. Note that we need to scale around the top left corner (normally it scales around the center) to prevent it from clipping off the top and left of the page.
var pencil = "M25.31,2.872l-3.384-2.127c-0.854-0.536-1.979-0.278-2.517,0.576l-1.334,2.123l6.474,4.066l1.335-2.122C26.42,4.533,26.164,3.407,25.31,2.872zM6.555,21.786l6.474,4.066L23.581,9.054l-6.477-4.067L6.555,21.786zM5.566,26.952l-0.143,3.819l3.379-1.787l3.14-1.658l-6.246-3.925L5.566,26.952z"
var paper = Raphael(0,0,200,200);
var icon = paper.path(pencil).attr({fill: "yellow"}).transform("s2,2,0,0");
