I have three lists I want to plot on the same graph, in different colors.
My code went as follows:
(mean and var are lists of numbers, of the same length)
p1 = ListPlot[ mean, PlotRange->All];
p2 = ListPlot[ mean + Sqrt[var],
DefaultColor -> RGBColor[0,1,0], PlotRange->All];
p3 = ListPlot[ mean - Sqrt[var],
DefaultColor -> RGBColor[1,0,0], PlotRange->All]];
Show[p1,p2,p3];
But this unfortunately draws p1, p2, and p3 on separate plots before drawing
all three on a single plot, and they were all black on the last plot anyhow.
So I was clever, and came up with the following:
Show[
ListPlot[ mean, PlotRange->All],
ListPlot[ mean + Sqrt[var],
DefaultColor -> RGBColor[0,1,0], PlotRange->All],
ListPlot[ mean - Sqrt[var],
DefaultColor -> RGBColor[1,0,0], PlotRange->All]]
Which produces the same result. ugh. Any advice?
best karma to the best answers. :)
