Folks,
I've been contacted by several people who have recently
updated to Max OSX 10.7.2 (Lion) and are having problems
with Coyote Graphics routines. Thanks to an e-mail from
David Brockley this morning, who finally figured out what
the problem is and how to work around it.
The error looks something like this:
IDL> cgPlot, IndGen(10)
% Compiled module: CGSNAPSHOT.
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
The problem appears to be the way the X Manager is
handling backing store, because the problem goes away
if you ask IDL to handle backing store for you:
Device, RETAIN=2
You can read more of the details about this problem
and what causes it in this article:

Cheers,
David
