Well, I just tried this again today and it works as advertized. I
have no idea what I did to change it's behavior. The only thing I'd
done was to run the two lines of code through IDL 8.0 - logged out
last night and back in this morning, fired up 8.1 and it worked.
Perhaps a variant of "plot" is hiding in some code I ran the other day
- but IDL's default library is first in my PATH list. Thanks to all
who offered help!

Hi Paul - yes, 8.1 is supported for Windows XP SP2 and later. I'm all
up-to-date with updateds, etc.

...produces the example as expected.
Does ITTVIS/IDL still support WindowsXP for 8.whatever? There's no useful information on their website (seems you have
to login to get the more detailed product info) beyond saying it runs on Microsoft Windows.

Thanks David - indeed it does work with cgsPlot. It seems likely a
bug in IDL 8.1 since it seems to work just fine in IDL 8.0

Seems to work OK with IDL 8.1 and Windows 7. I guess
the Coyote Graphics routines will work anywhere, probably:
theory = SIN(2.0*FINDGEN(200)*!PI/25.0)*EXP(-0.02*FINDGEN(200))
p1 = cgsPlot(theory, title="Test")
Cheers,
David
