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

local scale = textItemGetScale ( theTextItem ) --get the scale of theTextitem and define it as 'scale'
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
