<br>
I would like to create a xy-plot with markers. The markers should have different colors. The colors should be controlled by a 3. variable.<br>
In my plot I already created the makers, but I don't know how to define the color with a 3. variable ( in my case the variable t).<br>
I couldn't find a description for this kind of plot. If there is a description on the homepage let me know.<br>
<br>
I have attached my scripts here.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your help.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
