Yeah, I had exactly the same idea, but I packed a little
more functionality into it:

PRO iXYOUTS, id, theString
theSystem = _IDLitSys_GetSystem()
theTool = theSystem -> GetByIdentifier(id)
idAnnotate = theTool -> FindIdentifiers('*/ANNOTATION LAYER')
oAnnotate = theTool -> getByIdentifier(idAnnotate
oAnnotate -> add, OBJ_NEW('IDLitVisText', _STRING = theString,
ALIGNMENT = 0.5, $
VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT = 1.0, $
FONT_SIZE = 24, $
LOCATION = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5])
END

This way it can be used with ANY iTool, as long as you
remember to get the identifier when you call the tool.

IDL> IPlot, findgen(11), Identifier=id
IDL> iXYOUTS, id, 'This is any old string.'

I can see the need for some simplified object graphics
programs meshing nicely with object widgets. :-)

Cheers,
