Joined

Joined

is an option for ListPlot and related functions that specifies whether points in each dataset should be joined into a line, or should be plotted as separate points.

Details

  • Joined->True plots each dataset as a line.
  • Joined->False plots all datasets as points.
  • Joined->{s1,s2,…} specifies separately whether to join each dataset. If there are more datasets than si given, the si are used cyclically.
  • Joined->True specifies that a line rather than points should be drawn. The additional option Mesh->Full specifies that the original points should also be indicated.

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Specify that points should be joined:

Wolfram Language code: {ListPlot[Table[(-1) ^ n, {n, 10}]], ListPlot[Table[(-1) ^ n, {n, 10}], Joined -> True]}

Use both standard and joined plots with multiple datasets:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[{Table[{n, Sin[n 2 Pi / 3]}, {n, 10}], Table[{n / 5, Exp[-n / 10]}, {n, 50}]}, Joined -> {True, False}, PlotRange -> All]
