/*There is a decreasing linear connection between log(freq) and location in array: h+(maxWidth*v).
Highest location-value in array = maxWidth*maxHeight
log(freq)=log(maxfreq)-((log(maxfreq)-log(minfreq))*(h+(maxWidth*v))/(maxWidth*maxHeight), so
freq=exp(log(maxfreq)-((log(maxfreq)-log(minfreq))*(h+(maxWidth*v))/(maxWidth*maxHeight)
Furthermore freq depends on value, which is either 0 or 1. 
freq=freq+(freq*value) or freq=(1+value)*freq
Combining those 2:
freq=(exp(log(maxfreq)-((log(maxfreq)-log(minfreq))*(h+(maxWidth*v))/(maxWidth*maxHeight))*(1+value)
