Hi Todd, > I am interested in producing a plot for a presentation in which the > tails of a normal distribution are colored red to illustrate a concept. > I can get the plot to work with a single tail, but I can't get the > syntax to work for both tails of the disribution. Instead of trying to pack everything together in one FilledPlot, try compositing plots using DisplayTogether Example: << Statistics`NormalDistribution` << Graphics`FilledPlot` << Graphics`Graphics` (* for DisplayTogether *) ndist = NormalDistribution[0, 1]; npdf = PDF[ndist, x]; DisplayTogether[ FilledPlot[npdf, {x, -2, -1}, Fills -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]], FilledPlot[npdf, {x, 1, 2}, Fills -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]]] Hope that helps, Daniel
