.. _auto_dataset_to_curve:

*CONVERT A DATASET TO COLUMN*
=============================

Converts a dataset object into a curve (vector) by extracting its column data. Use this worker when downstream nodes expect a curve/vector type rather than a tabular dataset.

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

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``convert``, ``curve``, ``dataset``, ``dataset_to_curve``, ``process``, ``transform``, ``vector``.

Inputs
------

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

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type

     - Required
     - Description
   * - Dataset
     - dataset_1
     - dataset
     - —
     - 
     - The input dataset to be converted into a curve/vector; leave unconnected if the dataset will be provided dynamically at runtime.

Outputs
-------

   * - Curve
     - dataset_to_curve_1
     - vector
     - The resulting curve (vector) extracted from the input dataset's column data, ready for use in curve-based downstream workers.
