.. _auto_curves_skip_every:

*CREATE A NEW SET OF CURVES BY USING A INTERVAL OF XMAX-MAX/NP AS SPECIFIED BELOW*
==================================================================================

Downsamples a set of curves by retaining only every Nth point, where N is the user-specified interval. Use this worker to reduce curve density before plotting, correlation, or further processing when the original resolution is unnecessarily high.

     - curves
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - One or more input curves (x/y vector pairs) to be downsampled; accepts multiple curves in a single pass.
   * - Every
     - every
     - scalar
     - 100
     - 
     - Decimation interval N — one point is kept for every N points in the source curve; defaults to 100, meaning 99% of points are dropped.
