Is it me, or is the inverse mapping of zmap not working? (Max 5.1.0b8, OS 10.5.. Something tells me this is an old issue, but I thought it had been fixed.

I only found this out because scale was behaving weirdly due to an abstraction called 'scale' in my search path, that was in fact just a wrapper for zmap - a big hands-up from me for Peter's idea of a 'Reveal in Finder' button, which would have got me there a lot sooner,

PS. Where did that damn smiley appear from? I assure you, I did not put it there! Sort of thing that makes you nostalgic for the old list again...

zmap-inverse-mapping-not-working

Not sure what you mean by inverse mapping but i think [scale] will do.

[expr ((($f1-$f2)/($f3-$f2))*($f5-$f4))+$f4] will do it just fine.

p.s. the smiley is from the OS "10.5.8" and ")"

"inverse mapping" has never worked with zmap.

zmap 0 127 0 1 and zmap 0 127 1 0 have always produced the same output.

inverting before or after scaling is an option:

but scale does "invert", so why not use that?

I am using scale - as I said above, 'scale' stopped working for me for a while because it was really zmap, until I'd hunted down the rogue abstraction.

 do inverse mapping, so either zmap or it's .help really should be changed,

Hum... I can read that in zmap's helpfile:

"For inverse data mapping, use the scale object - its hi and lo values can be reversed"

it should read: when you need a proper scale or map object, make your own.
