I've tried creating a resizable graphics window but because the cgplots commands are in a loop, IDL continually displays new graphics windows and then crashes.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the included code was in a procedure and the main program had
cgWindow, 'Plot_DAQ_Trajectories', wbackground='white', wxsize=600, wysize=500, wtitle='Westerly Flow'
I still have several questions and some clarification though. In your example using cgWindow, you use cgPlot to begin. When I try to apply this to my code I get data plotted but no map background because cgPlot doesn't allow map=mapCoord. Is this correct or do I have things in the wrong order.
Also, to clarify. Once I have completed the loop, what I need to do is rerun the entire code with a new dataset going through the same calculations and plotting loop. At the moment this creates a new window, but I want to put in the same window as the first time I ran the code. Is this possible? Thanks.
