@Kay C.
I didn't want to critisize you with my answer, sorry.
Of course you are correct with the "rounding", he said he can "vary the
events by 1 second", sorry. So he should use
round(c*f(..))
with my solution too, because that *gets* the thumbpos.
After your remark reading Peter's first post again it's still not
clear for me what he really wants:
@Peter
Could you please go more in detail.
You have a scrollbar of width 200,
startValue -300 (or -5*60),
endValue 300 (or 5*60).
What is your target output for example at -300, -60, 60 and 300
and some other values in between? What numbers do you wish to see
there?
Possibly you are thinking of a scrollbar that varies it's thumbs
units. Say for example, if the width of your scrollbar is 200:
from left to left+40 divides into -5*60 to -2*60
= 180 units scaled to width 40
from left+40 to left+160 divides into -2*60 to 2*60
= 240 units scaled to width 120
from left+160 to left+200=right divides into 2*60 to 5*60
= 180 units scaled to width 40
This would scale the **INPUT** (=the x-axis), what is possible
to achieve, but you then have to script your own "showValue" field.
The current approaches of Kay and me scale the **OUTPUT** (= y-axis),
usually quite different.
@Kay C.
Do you agree with that second possible interpretation?
