annotated text without using graphics device in IDL? [message #35061]

I'd like to annotate an image without having to first draw the text on the
active graphics display and then read the image back. This undesirable
method might look like:

a=indgen(256,256)
tv,a
xyouts,100,100,'this text',/device
b=tvrd()

Instead, I'd like an approach that doesnt rely on the graphics device at
all. It might be called in this way:

a=findgen(256,256)
b = imgtext( a, 100,100,'this text' )

As a result, b is an image whose contents have been altered to include the
text.

Anybody seen this sort of thing for IDL?

Thanks,
Howard
