text on images?

[ahmed el-helw <ahmedre cc gatech edu>]

hi,
i was just wondering, is there a way to put text on top of images?  what
i am trying to do is, i have a graphic that should contain a number in
the middle of it.  i want to be able to display the graphic with the
number in the middle of it; if that makes sense.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
-ahmed
