How would one begin writing a script that would ad extra images/info in your final render image in Maya?

I want the following data to display/composited on the final render images in Maya:
It must also show in the camera view port while setting up shots.

Resolution
Image Aspect Ration
Safe Action Display Area
Safe Title Display Area
Focal Lenght
Production Title
I want to includes this to the final images for the use of animatics.

See mel command headsUpDisplay. There are a set of available variables (all of those in menu) but it's also ppossible to pass custom info (shot number, focal length, whatever you require) but will require custom script
