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]

列出理解一行的解决方案

color_array_new = [int((((x - min(node_sizes)) * 99) / (max(node_sizes) - min(node_sizes))) + 1) for x in node_sizes]

完整版

def colour_specter(waste_amount):
color_array = []
OldRange = max(waste_amount) - min(waste_amount)
NewRange = 99
for number_value in waste_amount:
    NewValue = int((((number_value - min(waste_amount)) * NewRange) / OldRange) + 1)
    color_array.append(NewValue)
print(color_array)
return color_array

NewValue = (((OldValue - OldMin) * (NewMax - NewMin)) / (OldMax - OldMin)) + NewMin

或者更容易读懂:

OldRange = (OldMax - OldMin)  
NewRange = (NewMax - NewMin)  
NewValue = (((OldValue - OldMin) * NewRange) / OldRange) + NewMin

或者如果你想保护旧范围为0的情况(OldMin = OldMax):

OldRange = (OldMax - OldMin)
if (OldRange == 0)
    NewValue = NewMin
else
{
    NewRange = (NewMax - NewMin)  
    NewValue = (((OldValue - OldMin) * NewRange) / OldRange) + NewMin
}

注意，在这种情况下，我们被迫任意选择一个可能的新范围值。根据上下文，明智的选择可能是:NewMin(见示例)，NewMax或(NewMin + NewMax) / 2

我写了一个函数用R来做这个，方法和上面一样，但是我需要在R中做很多次，所以我想分享一下，以防它对任何人有帮助。

convertRange <- function(
  oldValue,
  oldRange = c(-16000.00, 16000.00), 
  newRange = c(0, 100),
  returnInt = TRUE # the poster asked for an integer, so this is an option
){
  oldMin <- oldRange[1]
  oldMax <- oldRange[2]
  newMin <- newRange[1]
  newMax <- newRange[2]
  newValue = (((oldValue - oldMin)* (newMax - newMin)) / (oldMax - oldMin)) + newMin
  
  if(returnInt){
   return(round(newValue))
  } else {
   return(newValue)
  }
}

捷径/简化方案

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

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);
