plotting - Control PointSize on a ListPlot

When I thought to vary PointSize on a ListPlot, I expected to find it trivial to do. I've likely overlooked something simple, but I've found it quite curious.

Reducing the problem to some simple examples:

ListPlot[{0.1, 0.2, 0.3}] 
ListPlot[{0.1, 0.2, 0.3}, PlotStyle -> (PointSize[#] & /@ {Small, Medium, Large})]
ListPlot[{{0.1}, {0.2}, {0.3}}, PlotStyle -> (PointSize[#] & /@ {Small, Medium, Large})]
ListPlot[{{1, 0.1}, {2, 0.2}, {3, 0.3}}, PlotStyle -> (PointSize[#] & /@ {Small, Medium, Large}), PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, Automatic}]

plots

The 1st plot shows the starting plot with no PlotStyle set.

The 2nd plot shows an attempt to size the individual points. This does not work either, but the documentation for PlotStyle explains why:

PlotStyle documentation

The 3rd plot makes each value in the original list its own object. This sizes the points properly, but does not plot them as I would like along the x axis.

The 4th plot adds position values for each object's point, but now I've lost the PointSizing.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Any explanation of the paradigm involved in doing this properly?

Answer

Your forth input form is not three sets of points but rather one set in {x, y} form. Adding an additional set of brackets gives the output you desire:

ListPlot[{{{1, 0.1}}, {{2, 0.2}}, {{3, 0.3}}}, 
 PlotStyle -> (PointSize /@ {Small, Medium, Large}), 
 PlotRange -> {{0, 3.1}, Automatic}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
