If ImageMagick is working then you can always create postscript files with your Coyote IDL routines, and convert them in a separate step from the command line.

The function cghasimagemagick.pro tries to determine if ImageMagick is present by seeing if the command

Spawn, 'convert -version', result, error_result

gives an error. Unfortunately, it appears that in some setups the above line returns an error even if ImageMagick is present. I might replace cghasimagemagick.pro with the following code:

function cghasimagemagick,version=version
version = ''
return,1
end

I don't think this page is relevant. It is for the case where CGHasImageMagic() reports true (imageMagick found) but gives zlib errors. You say that the problem is that ImageMagick can't be found.
