.. _auto_curves_to_dataset:

*CONVERT THE CURVES TO DATASET*
===============================

Converts one or more curves into a tabular dataset, with each curve's Y-values (and optionally X-values) mapped to named columns. Use this worker when downstream steps require a dataset rather than curve objects, for example before statistical analysis or export.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curve
     - curves
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - One or more input curve objects (vector type, multi-select) whose Y-values will form the dataset columns; leave empty only if curves are injected by an upstream wire.
   * - include_x
     - include_x
     - list
     - no
     - 
     - Whether to include the X-axis values as an additional column in the output dataset; select 'yes' to add an X column, default is 'no'.
   * - Starting Column Name
     - columnname
     - scalar
     - A
     - 
     - Starting column label for the first curve (e.g. 'A', 'B'); subsequent curves are auto-named from this base — leave as default 'A' to use sequential letters, or leave empty to use each curve's name and ID instead.

Outputs
-------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Description
   * - curves_to_dataset_output_1
     - curves_to_dataset_output_1
     - dataset
     - Tabular dataset where each column corresponds to a converted curve's Y-values (and optionally X-values), ready for downstream statistical, export, or ML workers.
