# Manipulate and ListPlot in a single chart [closed]

I have "Manipulate[Plot ... " Where I can adjust my variables. In that chart I want to include datapoints. Right now I have two separate graphs:

 Manipulate[Plot[volatility[k, beta, alpha, rho, v], {k, 20, 45}, PlotRange -> {0, 0.3}], {b, 0,1}, {a, 0, 1}, {p, -1, 1}, {v, 0, 1}]

ListPlot[{{31.174, 0.1751}, {36.5, 0.20}, {27.88, 0.16}, {41.28,
0.23}, {24, 0.154}}, PlotRange -> {{20, 45}, {0, 0.3}}]


How can I gather those plots in one chart. "Show" function does not work here

• Have you seen Show? – Michael E2 Aug 6 '16 at 21:12
• Yeah, I have mentioned it in my question. But maybe I am using it wrong. How would you use it? – Michael Aug 6 '16 at 21:14
• Like the first example in the docs: Show[Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3.5}], ListPlot[{1, 4, 9}]]? How were you using it? – Michael E2 Aug 6 '16 at 21:34
• Show[Manipulate[Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3.5}]], ListPlot[{1, 4, 9}]] Remember that I need the manipulate function – Michael Aug 6 '16 at 23:10

I think 'show' function is the way to go. Try this structure:

 Manipulate[ Show[ Plot[],ListPlot[], PlotRange-> ],{} ]


Your code will be something like that:

Manipulate[
Show[
Plot[volatility[k, beta, alha, rho, v], {k, 0, 40}],
ListPlot[{{31.174, 0.1751}, {36.5, 0.2}, {27.88, 0.16}, {41.28,0.23}, {24, 0.154}}],
PlotRange -> {{0, 45}, {0, 0.3}}
],
{beta, 0, 1}, {alpha, 0.1, 1}, {rho, 0.1, 1}, {v, 0.1, 1}]

• And I assume that b, a, p and v are meant to be beta, alpha, rho and v? If it is in a financial context (which I am pretty sure that it is) then I think my assumption is correct – k.dkhk Aug 8 '16 at 16:39

Something like

Manipulate[
Plot[volatility[k, beta, alpha, rho, v], {k, 20, 45},
PlotRange -> {{20, 45}, {0, 0.3}},
Epilog ->
{Red, AbsoluteThickness[5],
Point[{{31.174, 0.1751}, {36.5, 0.20}, {27.88, 0.16},
{41.28, 0.23}, {24, 0.154}}]}],
{b, 0, 1},
{a, 0, 1},
{p, -1, 1},
{v, 0, 1}]


Of course, I could not test this since you didn't provide a working example.
