R help - Jun 2006 - rescale the data into unit square?

Dear Rusers,
 Recently, i saw the sentence "rescale the data into unit square" for
several times. Could anybody tell me what it means,and give an example?
 Thanks very much!

If you can quote an actual instance of where it's mentioned, perhaps that
will make it more clear.  I'd interpret that as simply rescaling all
variables to have min=0 and max=1, one variable at a time.
