Absolutly right, I did not mean to blame IDL. Currently the problem
is due to a limitation of XFree86. I was merely reminding that people
want to use IDL as a platform-independent language. IDL does indeed

Well, I woul like very much not using XOR, but then
I would have to redisplay the image (they can be up to 5000x3500,float)
each time I add some text on it. A bit time and memory-consuming...
