Rescale

gives x rescaled to run from 0 to 1 over the range min to max.

gives x rescaled to run from

over the range min to max.

Rescale[list]
rescales each element of list to run from 0 to 1 over the range Min[list] to Max[list].

For exact numeric quantities, Rescale internally uses numerical approximations to establish its result. This process can be affected by the setting of the global variable $MaxExtraPrecision.

Rescale to run from 0 to 1 over the range

to 10:

Rescale x to run from

when its values run from

Rescale so that all the list elements run from 0 to 1:

Rescale to run from 0 to 1 over the range

to 10:

Out[1]=

Rescale x to run from

when its values run from

Out[1]=

Rescale so that all the list elements run from 0 to 1:

Out[1]=

Rescale a list of values:

Rescale with exact or symbolic quantities:

Rescale in the complex plane:

Make a Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion table:

In the complex plane, Rescale just scales and rotates a region:

Reversing both range specifications gives back the same result:

Rescale is effectively linear with respect to its first argument:
