# when the list plot is triggered by an array of files, using PlotRange gives “Iterator does not have appropriate bounds”

So basically I have 21 plots, each one looks like

Now, I want to replot this from 200 to 500 only, here's what I did:

In[8]:= data = Table[Import[name[[i, j]]], {i, 1, 21}, {j, 1, 51}];
Dimensions[data[[1,1]]]
{499,2}

In[12]:= Table[ListPlot[data[[i]]], {i, 1, 21}, PlotRegion -> {{150, 500}, {0.050, 0.060}}]


Then I received the error Iterator {PlotRegion->{{150,500},{0.05,0.06}}} does not have appropriate bounds. I checked the >> error cause, it seems the iteration bound is not a real number and so cannot be reached using the default step size. Much appreciated if some can give me a hint?

• I'm not exactly sure whether you want 21 data sets plotted in one plot or 21 plots, but you've got Table[ListPlot[], {i, 1, 21}, PlotRegion ->...] and the PlotRegion ->... is being passed to Table[] in the position of an iterator (like {i, 1, 21}). You might want Table[ListPlot[.., PlotRange ->..], {i, 1, 21}], if you want 21 separate plots. – Michael E2 Oct 16 '16 at 21:23
• Ah, I see the mistake I made, PlotRegion/PlotRange must be within the ListPlot, thanks for pinpointing it out! – Gvxfjørt Oct 16 '16 at 21:35
• I want 21 plots, but that can be easily obtained by using Table, ln[8] was basically to import each individual files, as I have 21*50 files and I want to plot 21 graphs with 50 data sets each, that's how I got the diagram in the question, hope the explanation is clear. And thanks for the help again! – Gvxfjørt Oct 16 '16 at 21:45

In[12]:= Table[ListPlot[data[[i]],, PlotRegion -> {{150, 500}, {0.050, 0.060}}], {i, 1, 21}]
