That restriction is because the Z-graphics buffer was still
an 8-bit only buffer in IDL 6.4, and I needed its 24-bit
abilities to do alpha blending. But, I can probably
do the same thing in a pixmap. Try this version of
cgImage and let me know. I don't have these old versions
of IDL still available for testing.
