Work with text in Bitbybit - split, join, replace and format strings, and turn them into 3D geometry. Text does real work in a configurator: engraving a customer's name onto a laser-cut part, labelling a dimension, building a file name for an export, or assembling a description from the options someone picked. These pages cover the string manipulation helpers, number-to-text formatting, and the text-to-geometry components that render a typeface into wires and solids you can extrude. Each example is shown in Rete, Blockly and TypeScript.
How bitbybit.text splits, joins, searches, trims, pads and changes the case of text, works with regular expressions and placeholders, and draws text as strokes of a simple font on the XZ plane.
Learn how to create and format text strings and then render them as 3D text geometry in Bitbybit using Rete, Blockly, and TypeScript.
