How to produce the latex symbol like \overline{X} ? [message #68898]

I used to use the function "textoidl" to generate latex symbols in
IDL, but I found it could not generate "bar-x", which is generated
through "\overline{x}" in latex. The IDL forum said "IDL> xyouts, 0.5,
0.5,'!S!A-!R!NX !S!A-!R!NY !S!A-!R!NZ', /NORMAL" can display a bar-X,
bar-Y and bar-Z in sequence. But are there any easier ways? Usually I
still have to do some other modulations to the symbol, so if only
there is a function like textoidl!
