.. _auto_curve_average_between:

*COMPUTE AVERAGE VALUE BETWEEN TWO X VALUES*
============================================

Computes the arithmetic mean of the y-values of a curve between a specified x-minimum and x-maximum bound. Use this worker to extract a scalar average response (e.g., mean force, mean acceleration) over a defined x-interval from any 2-D curve.

     - The input 2-D curve (x/y vector pair) over which the average will be computed; must be provided — no default is applied.
   * - X Min
     - x_min
     - float
     - 0.0
     - 
     - Lower x-bound of the averaging window; data points with x < x_min are excluded. Defaults to 0.0 — set explicitly to avoid unintended truncation.
   * - X Max
     - x_max
     - float
     - 0.0
     - 
     - Upper x-bound of the averaging window; data points with x > x_max are excluded. Defaults to 0.0 — set explicitly to the desired end of the interval.

     - scalar
     - Scalar arithmetic mean of the curve's y-values within the [x_min, x_max] interval; same units as the input curve's y-axis.
