The documentation indicates simple, consistent, and intuitive usage for wrappers in ListLinePlot and ListLinePlot3D. However, the Style wrapper for ListLinePlot doesn't seem to work.

For example, consider the examples below. The Labeled wrapper works as the documentation indicates, the same way for ListLinePlot and ListLinePlot3D, and how you would expect (examples 1 and 2). The Style wrapper works this way for ListLinePlot3d (example 3) but not for ListLinePlot (example 4).

Can I fix this or get around it? I would like to stylize individual points in ListLinePlot.

1 ) ListLinePlot3D with Labeled (ok)

ListLinePlot3D[{{2.1, Labeled[2.9, "hello"], 2.8, 1.9}, {2.2, 2.7, 
   1.1, 2.2}, {2.3, 1.7, 2.3, 1.7}}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 0.03}]

1

2 ) ListLinePlot with Labeled (ok)

ListLinePlot[{{2.1, Labeled[2.9, "hello"], 2.8, 1.9}, {2.2, 2.7, 1.1, 
   2.2}, {2.3, 1.7, 2.3, 1.7}}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 0.05}]

2

3 ) ListLinePlot3D with Style (ok)

ListLinePlot3D[{{2.1, Style[2.9, Red], 2.8, 1.9}, {2.2, 2.7, 1.1, 
   2.2}, {2.3, 1.7, 2.3, 1.7}}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 0.03}]

3

4 ) ListLinePlot with Style (broken)

ListLinePlot[{{2.1, Style[2.9, Red], 2.8, 1.9}, {2.2, 2.7, 1.1, 
   2.2}, {2.3, 1.7, 2.3, 1.7}}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 0.05}]

  • $\begingroup$ Just to play Devil's Advocate, I wonder if ListLinePlot3D is doing something that it shouldn't be doing. In the manual for both ListLinePlot and ListLinePlot3D Style is applied to a complete dataset rather than an individual data point. Also, when Style is applied to a dataset in ListLinePlot, it is the line that is modified and not the plot marker. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @JimB It seems unlikely to me ListLinePlot3D's (arguably expected) feature is a bug and Style not working on points for ListLinePlot is intended behavior, considering it is unnecessarily restrictive. All other wrappers I've tested work as expected. Only Style, only for ListLinePlot, only for points, is the exception. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Outliers are in the eyes of the beholder. But my point is that I'm not seeing in the documentation that Style should work on an individual point. Doing so would be a nice feature but it's not clear to me that it has been advertised as such. $\endgroup$

In my opinion, it is not possible in a ListLinePlot. The only solution is with "Epilog"

Regards,....Jos

ListLinePlot[{{2.1, 2.9, 2.8, 1.9}, {2.2, 2.7, 1.1, 2.2}, {2.3, 1.7, 2.3, 1.7}}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 0.05}, Epilog -> {Red, PointSize[0.03], Point[{{2.0, 2.9}}]}]
