zmap
Description
Maps an input range of values and to an output range of values. Similar to scale, but clips values to the ranges, and does not allow inverted scaling.
Examples
Arguments
minimum-input [number]
The minimum input value. If the low values is higher than the corresponding high value, the two values are reversed to preserve the high-low relationship.
maximum-input [number]
The maximum input value. If the low values is higher than the corresponding high value, the two values are reversed to preserve the high-low relationship.
minimum-output [number]
The minimum output value. If the low values is higher than the corresponding high value, the two values are reversed to preserve the high-low relationship. The zmap object will clip to the boundaries of the output range.
maximum-output [number]
The maximum output value. If the low values is higher than the corresponding high value, the two values are reversed to preserve the high-low relationship. The zmap object will clip to the boundaries of the output range.

presentation [int] (default: 0)
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)

Note: The preservation of the high-low relationship is different from the behavior of the scale object, which lets you do reverse scaling. Also, note that the zmap object will clip to the boundaries of the output range.
