AFAIK, no there isn't, but you could write the string to a tempfile
require 'tempfile'
tempfile = Tempfile.new("image")
tempfile.close
open(tempfile.path,"w") do |f|
...#scribble your string in here
end
tempfile.close
image tempfile.path
tempfile.unlink
for some completely untested code.
Possibly you can replace the close...open()do...end with just
tempfile.puts -- you can tell I don't use this often.
