You can use Row to join styled strings: ListPlot[{Table[Random[], {50}]}, PlotRange -> All, Joined -> True, AxesLabel -> {"t (ps)", "(kcal/mol)"}, PlotLabel -> Row[{"Total Energy\n", Style["Red: Velocity-Verlet\n", Red], Style[ "Green:Leapfrog\n", Green], Style["Blue: Accurate Velocity-Verlet\n", Blue]}], PlotStyle -> {Pink, Red, Green, Darker[Green], Cyan, Blue}, ImageSize -> 400] Robert Rosenbaum wrote: > > This does the trick: > > Plot[x^2, {x, -2, 2}, > PlotLabel -> Style["Hello", Blue] Style["\nHello", Red]] > > although I'm sure that there's a better way to combine the two strings. > For some reason, <> doesn't seem to work on Styled strings. > > > > On Aug 3, 2011, at 6:06 AM, Andrew DeYoung wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I often use Mathematica 7 to display data, using ListPlot.
