Since you didn't say in which type of graphic enviroment you wanted this, I give you what I *can* do:

likeThis = byte('LIKE THIS')
nChars = n_elements(likeThis)
likeThisArray = strarr(nChars)
for i=0,nChars-1 do likeThisArray[i] = string(likeThis[i])
i = image(/test)
t = text(0.5,0.5,likeThisArray,color='red')

But I guess you wanted direct graphics...

Cheers,
Helder
