I want to add a specific point F(1) on a rectangular plot. but doing that gives me a horizontal line. I want to highlight certain points in the graph.

Best answer by IRstuff

Just double click on the graph, select Traces, select Points as the "Type"

You could post a worksheet showing an example of what you want.

I simply put the x and y coordinates of the point on the respective axes, select a symbol, give the symbol enough weight to be seen and change the line type to points. See one of the plots in the attached file

Dixie,

While that is another option and probably the most basic, simple in my eyes is good. If the variables in the graph change you would have to manually change the numbers in the graph yourself.

I was assuming here that we were talking about 1 or 2 points that are being used to specify a particular point on a curve. For multiple computed points I insert variable names in a matrix, if possible, see attached. If the variable values change the points are still plotted properly

Nice example Dixie.
