COMPUTE THE SLOPE OF THE CURVE AT A GIVEN POINT¶
Computes the instantaneous slope (first derivative) of a curve at a specified X value, interpolating or extrapolating as needed. Use this worker when you need a single tangent/gradient value at a particular point along a curve.
When to use¶
Classification: process.
Tagged: curve, derivative, extrapolation, interpolation, slope, slopeatx, tangent.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curve To Be Looked Up | curvetobelookedup | vector | — | The input XY curve (vector of paired X/Y values) on which the slope will be evaluated; must be provided before the worker can execute. | |
| X Value | x_value | float | 0.0 | The X coordinate (float) at which the slope is evaluated; the worker interpolates between adjacent points or extrapolates beyond curve bounds — defaults to 0.0. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| curve_slopeatx_output_1 | curve_slopeatx_output_1 | scalar | Scalar slope value (ΔY/ΔX, same units as Y-axis units divided by X-axis units) of the input curve at the specified X position. |
