.. _auto_vector_x:

*VECTOR X*
==========

Extracts the X-component (first element) from a named vector input and returns it as a scalar number. Use this worker when you need to isolate the X dimension of a vector quantity for downstream calculations or reporting.

When to use

     - The input vector from which the X-component will be extracted; supply any named vector available in the workflow context (optional — leave unconnected if no vector is needed upstream).
