I'm using Mathematica v9.x on a Mac, with OS X 10.7.5. Could I ask about something that likely has a very simple solution? I have a list of XY coordinates for say 500 points that will become a scatterplot via ListPlot. I need to assign a colour to each point, using a list of labels (histology, risk, =85). I've generated ArrayPlot graphics for cases like this for some time. For example, given some labels in column 4 of a 'hist' table: colours = Table[{ Switch[name = hist[[i, 4]], "Classical", Green, "Tall cell", Red, "Other", Blue] }, {i, Length[hist]}]; ArrayPlot[{colours}, AspectRatio -> 0.1, Frame -> False] For a ListPlot, I'd have thought that something as simple as dropping a list of colours into a PlotStyle Directive would do the job. But the following line plots three blue points, rather than a Red, Green and Blue point. ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}}, PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[0.02], {Red, Green, Blue}]] Is there a simple way to declare a list of colours in ListPlot? I've looked through the PlotStyle documentation, and apologize if I've missed seeing how to do this. Thanks very much for your help.
