When you get the "Keyword parameters not allowed in call" it means that your setup is incorrect -- most likely because you have a an obsolete CG procedure in your !path (or in your current directory). You should get a traceback message along with the error, something like

Traceback Report from CGSCATTER2D:

% Keyword parameters not allowed in call.
% Execution halted at: CGSCATTER2D 501 /Users/wlandsma/pro/coyote/cgscatter2d.pro

which gives the line number where the error occurred. Look at that line to find the offending procedure being called.

Then follow step 4 of http://www.idlcoyote.com/code_tips/fixcoyoteprogram.php to find the obsolete procedure, e.g. to check on cgsetcolorstate.pro

IDL> print,file_which('cgsetcolorstate.pro')

(I actually prefer to use http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/misc/findpro.pro which gives *all* versions of a procedure in one's !PATH -- with the first one being the one that is used, e.g.

IDL> findpro,'cgsetcolorstate' --Wayne
