So far we know that
Plot[{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, 0, 1}]
gives 3 default colors
Plot[{{x, x^2, x^3}}, {x, 0, 1}]
gives 3 default colors
Plot[{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
gives 3 designated colors
Plot[Table[x^n, {n, 1, 3}], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
gives single color -- and it's NOT Red
But if you Evaluate the table you get 3 designated colors
Plot[0.8 {x, x^2, x^3}, {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
gives single color, not Red
Plot[List[x, x^2, x^3], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
gives 3 designated colors (meaning, List[] gets evaluated,
even though Table didn't?)
Plot[List[{x, x^2, x^3}], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
gives 3 designated colors (List in this variant form also
gets evaluated?)
QUIZ: What will the following give?
Plot[0.5 List[{x, x^2, x^3}], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green,Blue}]
Plot[List[0.5 {x, x^2, x^3}], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue}]
