The method you reject as unfeasible might work fine if you:
- Use the Z buffer device. TVRD() is much faster than with X
- Set the Z device size to be 20x100, so you only use it to buffer the
box used for the string.
- Use IDL's normal array operators to put the new box at the bottom of your
images.
Remember to set the Z device to not do Z buffering (DEVICE, /NOZ) which also
speeds it up.
