.. _auto_curves_power:

*COMPUTE THE Y-POWER OF THE CURVE*
==================================

Raises the y-values of one or more input curves to a specified scalar power (y → yⁿ), leaving x-values unchanged. Use this worker whenever a pointwise exponentiation of curve data is needed within a transformation pipeline.

When to use

     - input_curves
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - One or more input curves (x/y vector pairs) whose y-values will be raised to the given power; accepts multiple curves and is optional if curves are piped in from an upstream worker.
   * - Power Exponent
     - power
     - scalar
     - 1
     - 
     - Scalar exponent n applied pointwise to every y-value of each input curve (y → yⁿ); defaults to 1 (identity), set to 2 for squaring, 0.5 for square-root, etc.

Outputs

   * - curves_power_output_1
     - curves_power_output_1
     - vector
     - Output curves with the same x-values as the inputs and y-values replaced by the result of the pointwise power operation (yⁿ), one output curve per input curve.
