Any idea why the first and last "Plot[Cos[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}]" below come out so much differently? It would appear that some of the options are a bit "sticky" in the sense that they are not reset for the second "Plot[Cos[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}]". Is this a bug or a feature? And make sure that you start with a fresh kernel in case something has already been done for the first Plot[] call ... Plot[Cos[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}] << PlotLegends` bs = {FontFamily -> "Arial", FontSize -> 14, FontWeight -> Bold}; SetOptions[Plot, Frame -> True, FrameStyle -> AbsoluteThickness[2], GridLines -> Automatic, PlotStyle -> {{Red, AbsoluteThickness[2]}, {Black, AbsoluteThickness[2]}, {Blue, AbsoluteThickness[2]}, {Darker@Green, AbsoluteThickness[2]}}, BaseStyle -> bs]; Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x], Tan[x]}, {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Directive[Blue, Thick], Directive[Thick, Red, DotDashed], Directive[Thick, Green, Dotted]}, Background -> LightOrange, PlotLegend -> {"sin x", "cos x", "tan x"}, LegendPosition -> {-.6, 0.1}, LegendOrientation -> Vertical, LegendBackground -> LightPurple, LegendShadow -> {.02, -.02}, LegendSize -> {0.3, 0.35}, FrameLabel -> {"x", "trig functions"}] Plot[Cos[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}] Please let me know if you find the same problem. I tried this on a Mac OS X 10.5.6 system with version 7.0.1 of Mathematica. Thanks... -Bob
