I am trying to plot data using the ListLogLinearPlot.

Here is my initial code: 

 ListLogLinearPlot[{xlist, ynorm}\[Transpose], 
   PlotRange -> All, 
   Joined -> True, 
   Axes -> {0, 0}, 
   PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Black}, {Black}}, Frame -> True, 
   FrameLabel -> {"Size (d,nm)", "Normalized Signal Intensity"}, 
   LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, 20, FontFamily -> "Arial", Black]]

and my result is:

enter image description here

Now, when I try to change the range to go from 0 to 1000 on the x-axis, the plot becomes this: 

ListLogLinearPlot[{xlist, ynorm}\[Transpose],
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, {0.0, 1.0}}, 
  Joined -> True, 
  Axes -> {0, 0},
  PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Black}, {Black}}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameLabel -> {"Size (d,nm)", "Normalized Signal Intensity"}, 
  LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, 20, FontFamily -> "Arial", Black]]

enter image description here

If I remove Joined-> True, I get the requested plot range, but I want my plot to be joined.

ListLogLinearPlot[{xlist, ynorm}\[Transpose], 
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, {0, 1.1}}, 
  Axes -> {0, 0}, 
  PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Black}, {Black}}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameLabel -> {"Size (d,nm)", "Normalized Signal Intensity"}, 
  LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, 20, FontFamily -> "Arial", Black]]

enter image description here

I have no idea of what is going on. I am a polymer chemist by trade and know very basic coding. All I want is to be able to import light scattering data and visualize it using Mathematica.

Edit: Thank you for all your help! I apologize for not including my x and y data lists; here they are:

    $\begingroup$ Since it looks like your {xlist,ynorm} might be plausible in side, is there any chance you might edit your question to include that data? Then someone could use their MMA to try to reproduce exactly your problem and see if the could find a fix that would be far more likely to work. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ we can't replicate the issue without input data. Meanwhile a work-around: Remove Joined-.True and post-process the output to turn Points into a Line, e.g., ListLogLinearPlot[{xlist, ynorm}\[Transpose], PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, {0.0, 1.0}}, Axes -> {0, 0}, PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Black}, {Black}}, Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"Size (d,nm)", "Normalized Signal Intensity"}, LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, 20, FontFamily -> "Arial", Black]] /. Point -> Line $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ With PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, {0.0, 1.0}} the xmin is 0; there is no 0 on a log plot. If you change this to a positive value, does the problem go away? Or try PlotRange -> {Automatic, {0.0, 1.0}} $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you all for the help! The workaround of /.Point->Line worked well. Meanwhile, I edited the post to include my x and y values. I apologize for not doing that originally. Thanks again! $\endgroup$

A work-around:

ListLogLinearPlot[{xlist, ynorm}\[Transpose], 
   PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, {0.0, 1.0}}, Axes -> {0, 0}, 
   PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Black}, {Black}}, 
   Frame -> True, 
   FrameLabel -> {"Size (d,nm)", "Normalized Signal Intensity"}, 
   LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, 20, FontFamily -> "Arial", Black]] /.
  Point -> Line
