shared

This example retrieves the scale of the 'theTextItem' text item, and if it is too small it enlarges it so it is more visible.

scale = textItemGetScale ( theTextitem ) -- get the scale of theTextItem and store it in the 'scale' variable
if scale < 0.5 then -- if the scale is smaller than 0.5
textItemSetScale ( theTextItem, 1.0 ) -- then restore it to default size, 1.0.
end
