Thank you Wayne for looking into this!

I think this fixes that particular step, although I recently installed a new IDL on my laptop and now I encounter the issue with cgImageMagick not being found. I went through the various posts on this (see e.g: http://www.idlcoyote.com/cg_tips/findimonmac.php) but it gets a bit involved...is there a clear sequence of steps to link IDL to the right place? I seem to understand the problem is with the "convert" executable. I tried to download the last version of ImageMagick and it got unpacked in the Applications/ directory but nothing changes. Note that I tried to use the older PS_START and PS_END commands, everything runs fine but the generates ps file is blank.

Running IDL 8.6.1 on Mac/OS (Yosemite).

I hope somebody can help...

I obviously have CGFIXPS in the Coyote library, but the problem seem to be in the following lines (as it seems to have been noted here: https://github.com/idl-coyote/coyote/issues/11). Any idea on the best fix for this issue?
