High Bound

Specifies the upper extent of squashing (or stretching) along the deformer’s local positive Y axis. Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 10.000. Default is 1.000.

Factor

Specifies the amount of squashing or stretching. Increasing negative values specify squashing along deformer’s local Y axis and increasing positive values specify stretching along deformer’s local Y axis. Use the slider to select values from -10.000 to 10.000. Default is 0.000 (no squashing or stretching).

Expand

Specifies the amount of expansion outwards during squashing or inwards during stretching. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 10. Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 10.000. Default is 1.000.
