Hello,

You might consider using David's NORMALIZE function instead of
NORM_COORD. It handles non-float values and you can specify the position
of the axis (if you don't want to scale it from 0 to 1.) If you forget
to make you range argument a floating point vector, NORM_COORD will
perfom a divide-by-integer, yielding unexpected results. Check out
www.dfanning.com.

By the way, the RECOMPUTE_DIMENSIONS keyword is one that I always set so
rescaling is automatic. I have always wished that the default was to
rescale and to prevent rescaling I had to set a keyword.
