OK, find line 237 in cgWindow_SetDefs. It will look like this:

IF N_Elements(im_width) EQ 0 THEN im_width = 0

Change it to look like this:

IF N_Elements(im_width) EQ 0 THEN im_width = 800

Then, restart IDL. Things should work normally. Although I see a recent
change (may not apply to you) is causing the "height" of this output to
be set to 800, rather than the width. I'll fix this, too, and have new
files available later today, but this might get you going in the right
direction. Thanks for the heads-up.

Cheers,

David
