; The purpose of cgOPlot is to create a drop-in replacement for the traditional
; IDL command, OPlot. It simply calls cgPlot with the OVERPLOT keyword set.
; 
; The program requires the `Coyote Library <http://www.idlcoyote.com/documents/programs.php>`
; to be installed on your machine.
;
; :Categories:
;    Graphics
;    
; :Params:
;    x: in, required, type=any
;         If X is provided without Y, a vector representing the dependent values to be 
;         plotted If both X and Y are provided, X is the independent parameter and 
;         Y is the dependent parameter to be plotted.
;    y: in, optional, type=any
;         A vector representing the dependent values to be plotted.
;       
; :Keywords:
;     addcmd: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;        Set this keyword to add the command to the resizeable graphics window cgWindow.
;     charsize: in, optional, type=float, default=cgDefCharSize()
;        The character size for axes annotations. Uses cgDefCharSize to select default
;        character size, unless !P.Charsize is set, in which case !P.Charsize is always used.
;     color: in, optional, type=string/integer, default='black'
;        If this keyword is a string, the name of the data color. By default, 'black'.
;        Color names are those used with cgColor. Otherwise, the keyword is assumed 
;        to be a color index into the current color table.
;     psym: in, optional, type=integer
;        Any normal IDL PSYM values, plus any value supported by the Coyote Library
;        routine cgSYMCAT. An integer between 0 and 46.
;     symcolor: in, optional, type=string/integer, default='black'
;        If this keyword is a string, the name of the symbol color. By default, 'black'.
;        Otherwise, the keyword is assumed to be a color index into the current color table.
;     symsize: in, optional, type=float, default=1.0
;        The symbol size.
;     _ref_extra: in, optional, type=any
;        Any keyword appropriate for the IDL OPlot command is allowed in the program.
;
; :Examples:
;    Use as you would use the IDL OPLOT command::
;       cgPlot, cgDemoData(17), Color='olive'
;       cgPlot, cgDemoData(17), Color='blue', SymColor='red', PSym=-16, /Overplot

;     Change History::
;        Written, 28 February 2012.
;        Modified to make sure both input arguments are defined before call to cgPlot. 25 May 2012. DWF.
;        Typo in the keyword inheritance code cause keywords to be ignorned. Fixed. 5 June 2012. DWF.
