Hi everyone,

I was just looking through the help files looking for an easy way to
add some text to an image. The basic idea of what I want to do is to
simply add a time stamp at the bottom of an image. Is there an easy way
to do this (and when I say easy I mean without going through object
graphics, which is what I suspect is the way I would have to do it :)
)? I know that you can use ANNOTATE, which brings up an interactive
tool, and you can also use iTools, but I'd like to do it
programmatically. ImageMagick has a (relatively) simple command to do
this, but the images are generated with IDL so it makes a lot more
sense to use IDL if i can.

Jeff
