Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 10}, Mesh -> {{0, \[Pi]}}, 
     MeshShading -> {Black, Red}]

In the above, how can I specify that I want the mesh for just, say the Sine function and not the Cosine? I know I can use two plots and combine them with Show, but this is not what I want.

Show[ {Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, Mesh -> {{0, \[Pi]}}, MeshShading -> {Black, Red}], Plot[Cos[x], {x, 0, 10}, Mesh -> {{0, \[Pi]}}]}] – belisarius Feb 7 at 16:59

@belisarius Isn't this what the OP explicitly says he doesn't want, or am I misreading this? – Sjoerd C. de Vries Feb 7 at 21:52

@SjoerdC.deVries Yup. But my preferred shoe shop doesn't sell pairs of two right shoes unless you can convince them -with good reasons- – belisarius Feb 7 at 21:59
Since your own answer has nothing to do with Mesh shall we assume that you just want output that visually matches the graphic shown in that answer? – Mr.Wizard♦ Mar 10 at 19:09

Plot[{ConditionalExpression[Sin[x], 0 <= x <= Pi], 
      ConditionalExpression[Sin[x], Pi < x <= 10], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 10}, 
      PlotStyle -> {Red, Black, Black}]

This doesn't use Mesh at all, in contrast to what the question title states. – Jens Feb 9 at 0:14

It is a good answer if the real question is how to generate that plot... – SEngstrom May 9 at 15:32
