Q: Length (on screen) of text [message #6738]

I want to annotate a map with lots of text representing various stations. I
don't want these to overlap. So I have to know how big they are going to be...
so I can jiggle them a bit if they are going to overlap. But there doesn't seem
to be any IDL routine to "measure" a string thats going to be plotted.

Any ideas?
