Description

In ticket #8320 Tristan was trying to invert an map in place using the "volume multiply" command which is pretty hacky. But the volume scale command does not have an "inPlace" option.

Summary: Add an inPlace option to the "volume scale command → Add an inPlace option to the "volume scale" command

This is not often useful because maps open from a file cannot be changed in-place. Such maps read data on demand from the data file and there is not code to change such maps into an in-memory map that can be written. It would be possible to allow maps opened from a file to be changed without writing the changes to the file. But there has not been any request for that.
