[PD] mapping library examples

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Basically, we are trying to come up with a whole collection of  
fundamental building blocks for mapping controller data to something  
being controlled.  It need not only be for music, but that's my  
background.  Cyrille has a broader background in terms of mapping  
than I.  While we use these objects with controllers and sensors,  
there is nothing that ties them to such uses.  They could be used for  
any situation where you want to manipulate ranges of data.

Here's the academicese version:

Abstract

Mapping has been discussed for decades, yet there is not a standard  
catalog of mapping methods. The Mapping Library for Pd is a fledgling  
library of mapping primitives with the aim of cataloging existing  
mapping methods. Also included are techniques for conditioning sensor  
data to make it usable in the context of instrument design.
