> Good article. I'm still missing something though. I'd like to use coyote graphics because I'm trying to make publication figures and from my understanding better quality can be gotten using cgWindow and ImageMagick. When I run my code I see the maps then they flash away and i'm left with just 4 colored lines that should be overlaid on the maps. I've tried with the mapCoord statements both inside and outside the loop both with the same results.

Well, there are a lot of things are wrong with your code. :-)

I would try something like this:

;*********************************************************** ********
PRO Map_Test

cities = ['Denver','Omaha','Atlanta','Portland','Seattle','Trenton']
city_lats = [ 39.75, 41.29, 33.84, 45.49, 47.62, 40.22]
city_lons = [ -105.00, -95.92, -84.38, -122.69, -122.34, -74.78]

cgLoadCT, 33, NColors=6, Bottom=1

lonmin = -125
lonmax = -65
latmin = 25
latmax = 60
centerlon = (lonmax-lonmin)/2.0 + lonmin
centerlat = (latmax-latmin)/2.0 + latmin
limit = [latmin, lonmin, latmax, lonmax]
xrange = [lonmin, lonmax]
yrange = [latmin, latmax]
mapCoord = Obj_New('cgmap', 'Stereographic', Ellipsoid='WGS 84', $
Limit=limit, Center_Lat=centarlat, center_lon=centerlon)

; Convert city locations to projected meters.
xy = mapCoord->Forward(city_lons, city_lats)
city_x = Reform(xy[0,*])
city_y = Reform(xy[1,*])

; Set up 3-col by 2-row grid.
p = cgLayout([3,2], Aspect=0.5, YGAP=4, XGAP=6, $
OXMargin=[4,4], OYMargin=[4,6])

; Draw the plots.
FOR j=0,5 DO BEGIN
pos = p[*,j]
mapCoord -> SetProperty, Position=pos, /Draw
cgMap_Grid, MAP=mapCoord, /Box
cgMap_Continents, MAP=mapCoord, /Continents, /Countries, /USA
cgPlotS, city_x[j], city_y[j], Color=Byte(j+1), PSYM=16, SYMSize=2.0
x = (pos[2]-pos[0])/2.0 + pos[0]
y = pos[3] + (!D.Y_CH_SIZE * 2) / Float(!D.Y_Size)
cgText, x, y, cities[j], /Normal, Alignment=0.5
ENDFOR
END

; Run the program in a cgWindow.
cgWindow, 'Map_Test', WXSize=800, WYSize=400, WBackground='White'
END
;*********************************************************** ********

Cheers,

David
