How to plot a parellal line

| Swati Agrawal 2006-12-11, 7:27 pm |
| Dear Mathgroup,
I am a new Mathematica user. I can't find a way to graph a
line parallel to the y or something like x-5=0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jyoti.

You could use the graphics primitive Line[]. For instance,
Plot[Exp[-x^2/2]/Sqrt[2*Pi], {x, -4, 4},
Epilog -> {Line[{{2, 0}, {2, 0.4}}]}];
Regards,
Jean-Marc

| f[x_]:=x^2+7x-30;
Plot[f[x],{x,0,10},PlotStyle->Blue,
Epilog->{Red,Line[{{5,f[0]},{5,f[10]}}],
Green,AbsolutePointSize[6],Point[{5,f[5]
}]}];

| You can try this:
Show[Plot[0,{x,0,5}],Graphics[Line[{{5,-1},{5,1}}]]]

| Sorry, I misunderstood your question, the previous answer was wrong.
Try,
ParametricPlot[{5, t}, {t, -10, 10}]
Cheers,
Philipp.

Hi Jyothi/Swathi,
ParametricPlot[{5,y},{y,-4,6},AspectRatio->Automatic,GridLines->Automatic];
(* Just play with the above command choosing any functions for x or y,
you have an automatic grid plotting available, for example: *)
ParametricPlot[{y^2 - 4y +3,y},{y,4,-1},AspectRatio->Automatic,
GridLines->Automatic];
ParametricPlot[{x^1 - 4x^3 +3,x},{x,1,-1},AspectRatio->Automatic,
GridLines->Automatic];

| Hi, may this satisfy you?
Show[Graphics[Line[{{5, 10}, {5, -10} }]]]

| One way is the follow:
myline = Line[{{5, -5}, {5, 5}}];
Show[Graphics[{AbsoluteThickness[2], myline}], Frame -> {True, True,
False, False}, PlotLabel -> "graph 1", FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}, Axes
-> {True, False}, AxesStyle -> AbsoluteDashing[{2, 4}], PlotRange ->
{{0, 10}, {-6, 6}}];
One more advanced example
lstlines = (Line[{{#1, -5}, {#1, 5}}] & ) /@ Range[-10, 10];
Show[Graphics[{AbsoluteThickness[2], lstlines}], Frame -> {True, True,
False, False}, PlotLabel -> "graph 1", FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}, Axes
-> {True, False}, AxesStyle -> AbsoluteDashing[{2, 4}], PlotRange ->
{{-10, 10}, {-6, 6}},
ImageSize -> {400, 300}];
Here is some useful links for Mathematica graphics
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/TechNotes/263/
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Conferences/179/
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Conferences/181/
The last two belong to Tom Wickham-Jones the author of the very good
book
Mathematica Graphics: Techniques & Applications
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Books/3753/
But read carefully the relevant material from the Mathematica Book
http://documents.wolfram.com/mathem...ok/section-2.10
Also keep in touch with this forum with so many kind Mathematica
experts!

Dimitris
