Math – mapping numbers

by

If your number X falls between A and B, and you would like Y to fall between C and D, you can apply the following linear transform:

Y = (X-A)/(B-A) * (D-C) + C

That should give you what you want, although your question is a little ambiguous, since you could also map the interval in the reverse direction. Just watch out for division by zero and you should be OK.
