map()

Examples
size(400, 400);
float value = 25;
float m = map(value, 0, 100, 0, width);
ellipse(m, 200, 10, 10);
Description

Re-maps a number from one range to another. In the example above, the number '25' is converted from a value in the range 0..100 into a value that ranges from the left edge (0) to the right edge (width) of the screen.

Numbers outside the range are not clamped to 0 and 1, because out-of-range values are often intentional and useful.

Syntax
map(value,low1,high1,low2,high2)

Parameters
value float: The incoming value to be converted
low1 float: Lower bound of the value's current range
high1 float: Upper bound of the value's current range
low2 float: Lower bound of the value's target range
high2 float: Upper bound of the value's target range
Returns float
