.. _auto_curves_sqrt:

*COMPUTE THE Y-SQRT OF THE CURVES*
==================================

Applies a square-root transformation to the y-values of one or more input curves (equivalent to raising each y-value to the power of 0.5). Use this worker when you need to compress the dynamic range of curve amplitudes or linearise a relationship before further analysis.

     - One or more input curves whose y-values will be square-rooted; accepts multiple vector curves — leave empty to pass through nothing (input is optional).
