Scaling MIN/MAX for Input Fields in DataMapper

Scaling MIN/MAX for Input Fields in DataMapper

In DataMapper, the various MIN/MAX values for each input field dictate the range your input is interpolated over. 

The MIN/MAX values for each Input field can be changed in DataMapper in order to adjust the range the Input field is interpolated over.

For example, when the Scale Z MIN value is set to 0.22 (see below), the smallest value in the data source for the field that you map / assign to Scale Z (in the example below the mapped input field is NET) will be sized at 0.22.  When the Scale Z MAX value is set to 5, the largest value in the data source for the field that is mapped / assigned to Scale Z will be sized at 5.



Scaling can be adjusted for all data bindings properties: Position, Rotation, Scale, Color, and Transparency.  If you determine (by looking at the visualization) that the MIN/MAX values for any properties of any of the input fields need to be adjusted, you can change the MIN and MAX value(s) in DataMapper accordingly. 

Click on the Up or Down arrows in the appropriate Min and / or Max fields to adjust the scaling until you reach the desired value.  You can also click within the Min / Max field and manually type in the desired value.  Note: When you adjust the MAX scale values, the changes will be visible in the glyph preview pane below the Data Bindings pane.

Tip: To make it easier to visually perceive the differences between each data point, use the steps above to increase the range of values your input field data is displayed over.​
