Value Text

Value Text is the bridge between a number in the graph and a string a human can read. It takes any value on its input — a float, an int, a bool, a point, or a whole array — and formats it into one line: Label, the number, then Unit.

Decimals fixes the number of places so a live value does not jitter between three and seven digits. SI Prefix rescales the display only: 12 000 µV is written as 12 mV, 0.0004 V as 400 µV. The underlying value is never touched — this is presentation, not conversion. An array is formatted element by element and joined with Separator, and a point becomes its components in the same way. Count reports how many numbers were formatted.

• A measurement on the render output — Envelope's Peak → Value Text (Label "Peak", Unit "V") → Text as Image → Canvas. One cable turns an analysis into a caption.
• Chart annotations — Plot's Cursor Values or Selection Stats written beside the chart, in the same unit the axis uses.
• A live readout for a performance — BPM, frame rate, a MIDI CC, a fader position, written large on a projector.
• Debugging — Watch any value in the render window instead of hunting for it in the inspector.
• Multi-channel labels — An array of channel means becomes "0.12, 0.44, 0.91" in one node.

• Leave the Unit blank for a bare number; Value Text still handles decimals and separators.
• SI Prefix only makes sense with a unit that has prefixes. Turn it off for degrees, percent, counts and ratios.
• Set Decimals to 0 for counters and indices — a count of "7.00" reads as a mistake.
• Pair it with Combine Text when you want several readouts on one line.
• For the raw number as a string with no formatting at all, Number to Text is the simpler node.
