hi,
Seems my post added much confusion. Sorry... I was hoping not to have
to post my code since it is really wrong and slightly embarrassing..
what i am trying to do is map an input range of values to output range.
I was hoping to make it a bit of an all purpose utility that would map
pretty much any input range to an output range, also do inverted
mapping... and also handle negative numbers and perhaps even a flag for
exponential mapping.
import random
def scaleX(in_seq, low, hi):
range1 = max(in_seq) - min(in_seq)
#range2 = max(out_seq) - min(outseq)
range2 = hi - low
ratio = range1/range2
return [(x * ratio) for x in in_seq]
def test():
# Create a list of 15 random integers in the range 0 to 127
# see if we can map it to 0 -> 1
inseq = random.sample(xrange(128), 25)
print
print scaleX(inseq, 0.0, 1.0)
print
if __name__ == "__main__":
test()
