Name

---

      SCALEDATA

Purpose

---

      Linearly scale data from one range to another (allow missing).

Category

---

Calling Sequence

---

      b = scaledata( a, in1, in2, out1, out2)

Inputs

---

      a = Array to scale. in
      in1 = array value to scale to out1. in
      in2 = array value to scale to out2. in
      out1 = value in1 gets scaled to (def=0). in
      out2 = value in2 gets scaled to (def=255). in

Keyword Parameters

Keywords

---

        MISSING=miss Missing data value. Anything less than
          out1 or greater than out2 is set to miss if given.
        /SBYTE The input array is a signed byte.
          IDL does not have signed bytes so signed byte data will
          be in a byte with values from 0 to 255 but anything
          over 127 represents a negative value. This keyword
          corrects the values into a signed integer before
          applying the scaling.

Outputs

---

      b = scaled array. out
