.. _auto_vector_magnitude:

*VECTOR MAGNITUDE*
==================

Computes the Euclidean (L2) magnitude of a numeric vector, returning a single scalar value equal to the square root of the sum of squared components. Use this worker whenever you need to reduce a multi-component vector (e.g., velocity, force, displacement) to its scalar magnitude.

     - The input numeric vector whose Euclidean magnitude is to be computed (e.g., a 2-D or 3-D vector of force, velocity, or displacement components); accepts any dimensioned floating-point array — leave as default (null) only when the magnitude is not required.
