Giving Plot options defined outside of the Plot expression












5












$begingroup$


How can I give Plot formating expressions on a separate line just like ListPlot?



When I use the following code with ListPlot, it produces a plot without any errors:



graphs = {ImageSize -> Full, Frame -> True};
ListPlot[Table[x, {x, 1, 2, .01}], graphs]


However, the same thing doesn't work for Plot:



graphs = {ImageSize -> Full, Frame -> True};
Plot[x, {x, 1, 2}, graphs]


Why? What is the simple notation change that I need to make it work?

          You can use



          Plot[x, {x, 1, 2}, Evaluate@graphs]


          Why?



          The reason Plot[x, {x, 1, 2}, graphs] doesn't work and ListPlot[Table[x, {x, 1, 2, .01}], graphs]does is that Plot has attribute HoldAll ("all arguments (..) maintained in an unevaluated form")



          Attributes[Plot]



          {HoldAll, Protected, ReadProtected}




          whereas ListPlot doesn't:



          Attributes[ListPlot]



          {Protected, ReadProtected}

            Alternatively, you can inject graph using With as in m_goldberg's answer or using Plot[x, {x, 1, 2}, #] &@graphs.

          You can also use With because it makes the needed substitution before Plot sees any of its arguments.



          options = {ImageSize -> Full, Frame -> True};
          With[{opts = options}, Plot[x, {x, 1, 2}, opts]


          plot
