I have been trying out the nice new graphics and printing
facilities in IDL 8.
Sometimes, when I close a graphics window I get a a rash of error
messages. Any idea where this is coming from? It is not 100%
reproducible.
IDL 8 on OS X 10.6.4 running XQuartz.

The plot,x,y command works in IDL 8.0. I have not found or heard
of any problem running pre-8.0 programs in IDL 8.0 (assuming that you
use brackets and not parentheses to subscript arrays).
The OP's problem appears to be an occasional one specific to running
the new 8.0 plotting features with Xquartz on the Mac. --Wayne

I am not using IDL 8.0, but when I saw this example I shocked. Does
this mean that we can’t use our old programs in IDL 8? For instance
does plot, x,y work in IDL 8 or we have to change it like p=plot(x,y)?
Cheers
