SUMMARY

The discussion centers on labeling plots in Mathematica 10.1.0.0, specifically addressing the use of the command "PlotLegend ->" which is outdated. The correct command is "PlotLegends", a feature introduced in Mathematica version 9.0. Users of version 10.1.0.0 should utilize "PlotLegends" to successfully label their plots. Additionally, the user inquired about uploading images directly to forum posts, indicating inconsistencies in this functionality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Mathematica 10.1.0.0 and its plotting functions
  • Understanding of the differences between Mathematica versions, particularly version 9.0 and later
  • Basic knowledge of forum posting features and image uploads
  • Experience with troubleshooting syntax errors in programming commands
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between Mathematica versions 9.0 and 10.1.0.0
  • Learn how to effectively use "PlotLegends" in Mathematica for labeling plots
  • Explore best practices for uploading images in online forums
  • Investigate common syntax errors in Mathematica and how to resolve them
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Mathematica users, particularly students and educators using version 10.1.0.0, as well as anyone interested in improving their plotting capabilities and understanding forum functionalities.

Hi PF!

I am using an older version of Mathematica: 10.1.0.0, the student edition. I am trying to label plots within the Plot function using the command "PlotLegend ->" but when running, first I get a message that this is outdated, and when I suppress, I get a legend that does not work with the plots.

Can anyone help me here?

Also, how to upload an image directly to this post rather than force you to click the file? Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.

This may be a simple typo. It is "PlotLegends" not "PlotLegend". I think this was a feature introduced in version 9.0, so it should work, but I can't test it (I am on version 11.0)

Thanks! I was using older versions before, and must have missed this.:headbang:
