I have the following simple coordinate, which I am trying to plot:

xy = {0, 0.963738}

I am trying:

ListPlot[xy, Joined -> False, PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0.5, 1}}, PlotStyle ->{Thick}, PlotLabels -> Placed[{"Isolated"}, {Scaled[1], After}]]

Why is the outcome (note x=2 and not 0 as I expected):

    $\begingroup$ ListPlot always expects a list of points, not just a point. xy = {{0, 0.963738}} would be a single point: a list of points containing only one element, which is itself a list of two coordinates. If you want to add a single point to another plot, you may also consider the Epilog option. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you call ListPlot with a single list of values MMA plotsthe listindex as x-value! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ 
xy = {{0, 0.963738}};
P = ListPlot[xy, PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0.5, 1}}, PlotStyle -> Thick]

Or use Epilog:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, Epilog -> {PointSize[0.02], Point /@ xy}]
