# --description--
|
|
|
|
By default, scales use the identity relationship. This means the input value maps to the output value. However, scales can be much more flexible and interesting.
|
|
|
|
Say a dataset has values ranging from 50 to 480. This is the input information for a scale, also known as the <dfn>domain</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
You want to map those points along the `x` axis on the SVG canvas, between 10 units and 500 units. This is the output information, also known as the <dfn>range</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
The `domain()` and `range()` methods set these values for the scale. Both methods take an array of at least two elements as an argument. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Set a domain
|
|
// The domain covers the set of input values
|
|
scale.domain([50, 480]);
|
|
// Set a range
|
|
// The range covers the set of output values
|
|
scale.range([10, 500]);
|
|
scale(50) // Returns 10
|
|
scale(480) // Returns 500
|
|
scale(325) // Returns 323.37
|
|
scale(750) // Returns 807.67
|
|
d3.scaleLinear()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notice that the scale uses the linear relationship between the domain and range values to figure out what the output should be for a given number. The minimum value in the domain (50) maps to the minimum value (10) in the range.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Create a scale and set its domain to `[250, 500]` and range to `[10, 150]`.
|
|
|
|
**Note**
|
|
You can chain the `domain()` and `range()` methods onto the `scale` variable.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your code should use the `domain()` method.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/\.domain/g));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `domain()` of the scale should be set to `[250, 500]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(JSON.stringify(scale.domain()) == JSON.stringify([250, 500]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your code should use the `range()` method.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(code.match(/\.range/g));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `range()` of the scale should be set to `[10, 150]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(JSON.stringify(scale.range()) == JSON.stringify([10, 150]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The text in the `h2` should be -102.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('h2').text() == '-102');
|
|
```
