 NewRange/OldRange = Handy multiplicand or HM
 Convert OldValue in OldRange to NewValue in NewRange = 
 (OldValue - OldMin x HM) + NewMin

这是一个简单的线性变换。

new_value = ( (old_value - old_min) / (old_max - old_min) ) * (new_max - new_min) + new_min

因此，将10000在-16000到16000的范围内转换为0到100的新范围会得到:

old_value = 10000
old_min = -16000
old_max = 16000
new_min = 0
new_max = 100

new_value = ( ( 10000 - -16000 ) / (16000 - -16000) ) * (100 - 0) + 0
          = 81.25

实际上，在某些情况下，上述答案会失效。 如错误的输入值，错误的输入范围，负输入/输出范围。

def remap( x, oMin, oMax, nMin, nMax ):

    #range check
    if oMin == oMax:
        print "Warning: Zero input range"
        return None

    if nMin == nMax:
        print "Warning: Zero output range"
        return None

    #check reversed input range
    reverseInput = False
    oldMin = min( oMin, oMax )
    oldMax = max( oMin, oMax )
    if not oldMin == oMin:
        reverseInput = True

    #check reversed output range
    reverseOutput = False   
    newMin = min( nMin, nMax )
    newMax = max( nMin, nMax )
    if not newMin == nMin :
        reverseOutput = True

    portion = (x-oldMin)*(newMax-newMin)/(oldMax-oldMin)
    if reverseInput:
        portion = (oldMax-x)*(newMax-newMin)/(oldMax-oldMin)

    result = portion + newMin
    if reverseOutput:
        result = newMax - portion

    return result

#test cases
print remap( 25.0, 0.0, 100.0, 1.0, -1.0 ), "==", 0.5
print remap( 25.0, 100.0, -100.0, -1.0, 1.0 ), "==", -0.25

下面是一些简单的Python函数，便于复制和粘贴，包括一个扩展整个列表的函数。

def scale_number(unscaled, to_min, to_max, from_min, from_max):
    return (to_max-to_min)*(unscaled-from_min)/(from_max-from_min)+to_min

def scale_list(l, to_min, to_max):
    return [scale_number(i, to_min, to_max, min(l), max(l)) for i in l]

可以这样使用:

scale_list([1,3,4,5], 0, 100)

[0.0, 50.0, 75.0, 100.0]

在我的例子中，我想缩放一条对数曲线，像这样:

scale_list([math.log(i+1) for i in range(5)], 0, 50)

[0.0, 21.533827903669653, 34.130309724299266, 43.06765580733931, 50.0]

下面是一个Javascript版本，它返回一个函数，对预定的源和目标范围进行重新缩放，最大限度地减少每次必须执行的计算量。

// This function returns a function bound to the 
// min/max source & target ranges given.
// oMin, oMax = source
// nMin, nMax = dest.
function makeRangeMapper(oMin, oMax, nMin, nMax ){
    //range check
    if (oMin == oMax){
        console.log("Warning: Zero input range");
        return undefined;
    };

    if (nMin == nMax){
        console.log("Warning: Zero output range");
        return undefined
    }

    //check reversed input range
    var reverseInput = false;
    let oldMin = Math.min( oMin, oMax );
    let oldMax = Math.max( oMin, oMax );
    if (oldMin != oMin){
        reverseInput = true;
    }

    //check reversed output range
    var reverseOutput = false;  
    let newMin = Math.min( nMin, nMax )
    let newMax = Math.max( nMin, nMax )
    if (newMin != nMin){
        reverseOutput = true;
    }

    // Hot-rod the most common case.
    if (!reverseInput && !reverseOutput) {
        let dNew = newMax-newMin;
        let dOld = oldMax-oldMin;
        return (x)=>{
            return ((x-oldMin)* dNew / dOld) + newMin;
        }
    }

    return (x)=>{
        let portion;
        if (reverseInput){
            portion = (oldMax-x)*(newMax-newMin)/(oldMax-oldMin);
        } else {
            portion = (x-oldMin)*(newMax-newMin)/(oldMax-oldMin)
        }
        let result;
        if (reverseOutput){
            result = newMax - portion;
        } else {
            result = portion + newMin;
        }

        return result;
    }   
}

下面是一个使用该函数将0-1缩放到-0x80000000, 0x7FFFFFFF的示例

let normTo32Fn = makeRangeMapper(0, 1, -0x80000000, 0x7FFFFFFF);
let fs = normTo32Fn(0.5);
let fs2 = normTo32Fn(0);
