Hi David,
OK, I think I get it. Essentially I do it twice; the second time I can use the values returned by the first call to cgHistoPlot to do what I want, which is to annotate the histogram created by cgHistoPlot with the number of elements in each bin. Since I'm not using passed keywords in the second call, I can put it into a cgWindow, and then use cgText to do the annotation.
Thanks, Barry

The simple way to work around it, of course, is to first
do the command in a regular display window, where there
is no issue in returning keywords. I would use a pixmap
window, probably, if I didn't want anyone to see it:
IDL> data = cgDemoData(7)
IDL> cgDisplay, /Pixmap, /Free
IDL> cgHistoPlot, data, binsize=1., LOCATIONS=locs, HISTDATA=hists
IDL> WDelete, !D.Window
IDL> Help, locs, hists
LOCS INT = Array[256]
HISTS LONG = Array[256]
Then you can proceed normally with the values you need.
Cheers,
David
