Léptékei

Léptékei is a Hungarian term that refers to scales or gradations, expressed as the plural possessive form of lépték. In general, léptékei denotes the set of graduated marks, intervals, or ranges used to measure or represent a quantity. It is used across technical and scholarly contexts to describe the granularity of instruments, displays, maps, charts, or models, as well as the graduated levels within a system of evaluation or categorization.

Grammatically, léptékei is the form used when referring to "its scales" or "their scales" and is typically used in reference to the thing whose scales are being described, such as a device, a map, or a chart. The term emphasizes the resolution or granularity available within a given scale.

Applications of léptékei appear in fields including engineering, cartography, design, psychology, and data visualization, wherever the specification of gradations, increments, or ranges is important. In calibration and metrology, precise léptékei determine the smallest measurable unit; in mapping, the map’s léptékei specify the ratio between distances on the map and the real world.

See also: lépték, lépés, mérés. The term is primarily used in Hungarian-language contexts and may appear in translated discussions with corresponding English terms such as scale, granularity, or graduated range.
