.. _auto_vector_normalize:

*VECTOR NORMALIZE*
==================

Normalizes an input vector to unit length (L2 norm = 1) by dividing each component by the vector's magnitude. Use this worker whenever downstream operations require a direction-only representation of a vector.

When to use

     - The input vector to be normalized; supply any numeric vector of arbitrary dimension — the worker will scale its components so the resulting magnitude equals 1.

     - The unit-length vector resulting from dividing each component of the input by its L2 magnitude; same dimensionality as the input vector.
