This issue has been resolved.
In the local reference (in Dream Maker), "maptext", "maptext_width", and "maptext_height" appear in the image vars page, in the listing of all the variables compatible with images.

They are poorly indented, and the variables do not actually work in the image() procedure.

Images are objects with variables that can be modified after being created. Although it isn't in the image() proc, you can access it like an object variable. If it works, the maptext probably shows up on whatever object the image is displayed on.

Oh, look at that...setting the variable directly does work.
Still, it should probably work through image() too, imo.

and the indentation in the reference needs to be fixed.

In response to Super Saiyan X (#2)
I give images pixel offsets too. That doesn't mean they should be included in the image() proc, but it would be convenient.

edit: phone typo
