I have added the symbols "times" (for multiplication)
and "div" (for division) to cgSymbol today.
But, I have also gone further than that and made it
possible to use TexToIDL codes directly from Coyote
Graphics routines by embedding them in graphics text.
Please see the post "Using TexToIDL with Coyote Graphics
Routines" that follows. An updated Coyote Library will be
required.
Cheers,
David

Just going for a post-Thanksgiving hike now. But, you
may want to read this article:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/cg_tips/kwexpressions.php
I don't have much control over TexToIDL, and I don't
know what the \times thing does, but most of the
things you want to do in TexToIDL can be done in
cgSymbol, which I DO have control over. If something
is not there, let me know. :-)
Greek and other symbols can be embedded directly into
the text:

I found that this method doesn't work in combination with textoidl. If there are some symbols written with texttoidl they will not rendered correctly if saving the eps with the 'output' keyword.

I knew there was an easier way...
Oh well, gotta through away a few lines of code.

I would do it this way:
cgplot, x, y, /window
cgplot, x, t, /overplot, /addcmd
cgcontrol, output='out.eps'

Well, I have to say that if your final output is going to be a PS, then you don't need all the IM_* commands. You may actually only use:
ps_filename = 'PlotExport.eps'
cgWindow_GetDefs, $
PS_Charsize = ps_charsize, $ ; The PostScript character size.
PS_FONT = ps_font, $ ; Select the font for PostScript output.
PS_Decomposed = ps_decomposed, $ ; Sets the PostScript color mode.
PS_Delete = ps_delete, $ ; Delete PS file when making IM raster.
PS_Metric = ps_metric, $ ; Select metric measurements in PostScript output.
PS_Scale_factor = ps_scale_factor, $ ; Select the scale factor for PostScript output.
PS_TT_Font = ps_tt_font ; Select the true-type font to use for PostScript output.
;Set up the PostScript device.
PS_Start, $
CHARSIZE=ps_charsize, $
DECOMPOSED=ps_decomposed, $
FILENAME=ps_filename, $
FONT=ps_font , $
METRIC=ps_metric, $
SCALE_FACTOR=ps_scale_factor, $
TT_FONT=ps_tt_font, $
QUIET=1
cgPlot, cgDemoData(1)
cgPlot, findgen(101)*30.0/100.0, /overplot
;do all the overplotting before the ps_end command
PS_END
Regarding my problem with the fonts... Well, that was just a big error of mine.. I was saving the !P variable for other purposes and re-plotting set the PS conditions.
Cheers,
Helder

Hi,
I was trying just this morning also to get this sorted.
I managed to do it this way:
window,0
PS_Start, FILENAME='PlotExport.eps'
cgerase
cgplot, x, y
cgplot, x, t, /overplot
PS_END
This works fine at first and I think it is the simplest thing you can try.
I then started fiddling with the PS_Start and PS_End commands and got fancy by looking at how David does it.
Well, I added slightly more complicated start and end commands (from cgPlot):
ps_filename = 'PlotExport.eps'
cgWindow_GetDefs, $
PS_Charsize = ps_charsize, $ ; The PostScript character size.
PS_FONT = ps_font, $ ; Select the font for PostScript output.
PS_Decomposed = ps_decomposed, $ ; Sets the PostScript color mode.
PS_Delete = ps_delete, $ ; Delete PS file when making IM raster.
PS_Metric = ps_metric, $ ; Select metric measurements in PostScript output.
PS_Scale_factor = ps_scale_factor, $ ; Select the scale factor for PostScript output.
PS_TT_Font = ps_tt_font ; Select the true-type font to use for PostScript output.
;Set up the PostScript device.
PS_Start, $
CHARSIZE=ps_charsize, $
DECOMPOSED=ps_decomposed, $
FILENAME=ps_filename, $
FONT=ps_font , $
ENCAPSULATED=encapsulated, $
METRIC=ps_metric, $
SCALE_FACTOR=ps_scale_factor, $
TT_FONT=ps_tt_font, $
QUIET=1
[... do the plotting here...]
cgWindow_GetDefs, $
IM_Density = im_density, $ ; Sets the density parameter on ImageMagick convert command.
IM_Options = im_options, $ ; Sets extra ImageMagick options on the ImageMagick convert command.
IM_Resize = im_resize, $ ; Sets the resize parameter on ImageMagick convert command.
IM_Transparent = im_transparent, $ ; Sets the "alpha" keyword on ImageMagick convert command.
IM_Width = im_width, $ ; Sets the width of raster file output created with ImageMagick.
PDF_Unix_Convert_Cmd = pdf_unix_convert_cmd, $ ; Command to convert PS to PDF.
PDF_Path = pdf_path ; The path to the Ghostscript conversion command.
; Close the PostScript file and create whatever output is needed.
PS_END, ALLOW_TRANSPARENT=im_transparent, $
DENSITY=im_density, $
GS_PATH=pdf_path, $
IM_OPTIONS=im_options, $
RESIZE=im_resize, $
UNIX_CONVERT_CMD=pdf_unix_convert_cmd, $
WIDTH=im_width
However, after this command, when I try to plot again on a normal window, I get strange fonts (thicker)... Still have to figure out this one.
The above is not fully tested, but did the job for me pretty well!
Cheers,
Helder
