Try:

Plot[ f[ x, 10 ], {x, -20, 20}];

This doesn't assign a value to a and will not give you an error message.  Also,
either r should be x, or x should be r in your example.

If your bounds are always -2 a and 2 a, then

a=10;
Plot[ f[ x, a ], { x, -2 a , 2 a }];
Clear[a];

will work.

Subject: [mg24135]  [mg24100] Plots with Variable Limits?




I want to make a test plot of a function  f[x,a]  versus  x  for some
trial value of the parameter  a  without fixing that parameter for
subsequent cells, e.g. something like

   Plot[ f[r,a], {x,-2a,2a} ]  /.  a->10

If I try this, Mathematica gives me a  "Plot::plln"  error -- but then
goes ahead and makes the correct plot anyway.

I can of course turn off the error -- but what's a better, but still
clean and simple, way to accomplish this.

Thanks   siegman at stanford.edu
