It appears that it was dilated by 1/2.  Note that the segment that represents segment G'H', GH is half the distance from the origin.

OOYEAHH THANKS VERY MUCH

Radar was wrong.

Yup, and not the first time lol.  Undilated octagon is 1/2 of the dilated octagon.  Or we could say the dilated octagon has been dilated by a factor of 2.

However it is as I posted the the segment GH is 1/2 the distance that the G'H' segment is from the origin.
