Re: idl 5.3, problem with plots and mapping environments

William,

I agree with David that this looks like a programming error. Now I am
going to go and check my over the pole cases to see if I get a similiar
error!

You can check to see if the mapping environment is current with the
!x.type variable.  If !x.type = 3 then map_set has been called.
