Hi,
Table has the attribute HoldAll which means that it doesn't see from the
start a list of functions. When it finally evaluates the Table to a List
it is too late to paint it differently. The trick is to evaluate the
Table manually:
Plot[Evaluate@Table[Sin[n x], {n, 1, 3, 1}], {x, 0, 2 Pi},
PlotRange -> All, PlotStyle -> Thick]
Cheers
Patrick
