Mark,
Here is a sample list of data points for plotting.
pts = Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 2Pi, 2Pi/50}];
Let's say that we want to plot the first half of the curve in blue and the
second half in red. We have to break our list of points into two lists, with
the break point repeated. There are several ways this could be done.
pts1 = Take[pts, {1, 26}];
pts2 = Take[pts, {26, 51}];
pts1 = Cases[pts, {x_ /; 0 <= x <= Pi, _}];
pts2 = Cases[pts, {x_ /; Pi <= x <= 2Pi, _}];
pts1 = Select[pts, 0 <= #1[[1]] <= Pi & ];
pts2 = Select[pts, Pi <= #1[[1]] <= 2*Pi & ];
Then forget ListPlot. It is easier to do it this way.
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]
Show[Graphics[
{Blue, Line[pts1],
Red, Line[pts2]}],
Frame -> True];
If you also want to plot the points:
Show[Graphics[
{Blue, Line[pts1],
Red, Line[pts2],
Black, AbsolutePointSize[3], Point /@ pts}],
Frame -> True];
