## Example

```typescript
// Set basic text
const success1 = this.api.SetObjectText("MyLabel", "Hello World");
console.log(`Text set: ${success1}`);

// Set text with custom formatting
const success2 = this.api.SetObjectText(
  "MyLabel",
  "Custom Text",
  14, // font size
  "Arial",
  0xff0000 // red color
);
console.log(`Formatted text set: ${success2}`);
```
