Mathematica PlotStyle->{color,color,color} not working

[rynlee]

Hi All, running into a bit of a mathematica issue. I put the following code into plot:

Plot[Im[correlationList], {t, 0, timeEnd}, 
  PlotStyle -> ColorList]

correlationList is a list of complex functions that have been evaluated at t. It correctly plots all of them (if I change it to correlationList[[2]] for example it only plots the second function, etc., as is it plots all of the functions on the same plot)

(I've omitted PlotRange -> {Full, {-1, 1}}, ImageSize -> Large, from the above command, but that's in there too)

ColorList is a list of Hue[] evaluations, i.e.

In:ColorList
Out: {Hue[1/10],Hue[1/5],Hue[3/10],Hue[2/5],Hue[1/2],Hue[3/5],Hue[7/10],Hue[4/5],Hue[9/10],Hue[1]}

When I plot this however, it colors *all* of the curves the *last* color in the color list.

This behavior holds even when I change the PlotStyle term, for example if I use {Orange,Blue,Green} instead of ColorList, it plots *all* of the functions green, none orange or blue. So it always takes the last member of the list. I'm not sure why it's doing this.

I tried transposing ColorList (which I generate from an Array[0&,10] command, then filled in with a Do[] loop), but that just gave error messages.

Thanks for any help,

rynlee

I'm thinking that you might need to Plot[{Im[correlationList[[1]]], ..., Im[correlationList[[n]]]}] rather than
Plot[Im[{correlationList[[1]], ..., correlationList[[n]]} ], if you get what I mean.

So what happens if you plot Evaluate[Im[correlationList]] instead?
Or first convert it to a list, e.g. plotting I am /@ correlationList?

yep the evaluate[] did it! Thanks!

The final function (just to show what it should look like if anyone else has the same problem):

Hi rynlee,

Thank you for reaching out about this Mathematica issue. From what you have described, it seems like there may be an error in your code or in the way you are generating your ColorList. I would suggest checking your code for any potential errors or typos, and also trying to generate the ColorList in a different way to see if that resolves the issue.

Additionally, you may want to try using specific colors instead of Hue evaluations, as that may help to pinpoint the issue. If none of these solutions work, it may be helpful to provide more specific details or share your code so that I can better assist you.

Best of luck with your Mathematica project!
