+        We start with a rectangle that is 2 units high and 4 units wide,
+        which we want to turn into a circle of radius 3::
+
+            >>> from manim import Rectangle, Circle
+            >>> import numpy as np
+            >>> rect = Rectangle(height=2, width=4)
+            >>> circ = Circle(radius=3)
+
+        With ``stretch=True``, the target circle is deformed to match
+        the proportions of the rectangle, which results in the target
+        mobject being an ellipse with height 2 and width 4. We can
+        check that the resulting points satisfy the ellipse equation
+        :math:`x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1` with :math:`a = 4/2` and :math:`b = 2/2`
+        being the semi-axes::
+
+            >>> result = rect.copy().become(circ, stretch=True)
+            >>> result.height, result.width
+            (2.0, 4.0)
+            >>> ellipse_points = np.array(result.get_anchors())
+            >>> ellipse_eq = np.sum(ellipse_points**2 * [1/4, 1, 0], axis=1)
+            >>> np.allclose(ellipse_eq, 1)
+            True
+
+        With ``match_height=True`` and ``match_width=True`` the circle is
+        scaled such that the height or the width of the rectangle will
+        be preserved, respectively.
+        The points of the resulting mobject satisfy the circle equation
+        :math:`x^2 + y^2 = r^2` for the corresponding radius :math:`r`::
+
+            >>> result = rect.copy().become(circ, match_height=True)
+            >>> result.height, result.width
+            (2.0, 2.0)
+            >>> circle_points = np.array(result.get_anchors())
+            >>> circle_eq = np.sum(circle_points**2, axis=1)
+            >>> np.allclose(circle_eq, 1)
+            True
+            >>> result = rect.copy().become(circ, match_width=True)
+            >>> result.height, result.width
+            (4.0, 4.0)
+            >>> circle_points = np.array(result.get_anchors())
+            >>> circle_eq = np.sum(circle_points**2, axis=1)
+            >>> np.allclose(circle_eq, 2**2)
+            True
+
+        With ``match_center=True``, the resulting mobject is moved such that
+        its center is the same as the center of the original mobject::
+
+            >>> rect = rect.shift(np.array([0, 1, 0]))
+            >>> np.allclose(rect.get_center(), circ.get_center())
+            False
+            >>> result = rect.copy().become(circ, match_center=True)
+            >>> np.allclose(rect.get_center(), result.get_center())
